What it is
- A player must honestly assess their offensive role.
How it works
- What do you do with the ball most often? (Dribble, catch-and-shoot, cut to the rim?)
- Where do you generate most of your points? (At the rim, mid-range, 3-point line?)
- What is your usage rate? (What percentage of your team's possessions involve you scoring or creating?)
- Do you initiate offense or receive it? (Are you a primary decision-maker or a secondary option?)
- What is your primary strength? (Shooting, creation, athleticism, size?)
