Player Type: pm8

Playmaking profiles are used to group players by aggressiveness and the types of shots they assist

Players with Playmaking Profile = 8 (pm8) possess exceptional court vision and basketball IQ, often creating high-percentage opportunities for teammates through intelligent passing. Particularly adept at the pick-and-roll, they can dissect defenses with precise timing and placement of passes. Their ability to assist on a variety of shot types, from perimeter shots to cuts to the basket, is a testament to their versatility. However, they exhibit varying levels of aggressiveness in taking shots while moving towards the basket. While capable of driving to the rim and scoring in traffic, they can sometimes be overly reliant on perimeter play and show hesitation in attacking the basket aggressively. This tendency can limit their effectiveness in creating their own shot, particularly under tight defense. Overall, their impact on the game is substantial through their playmaking, though their scoring aggressiveness is not consistently at an elite level, which can sometimes limit their overall offensive threat. ...
