Brad Stevens has never been a big believer in posting up. Here’s a snippet from a conversation he had with then Grantland’s Zach Lowe:
LOWE: Analytics folks say the post-up, or at least a post-up shot, is a low-efficiency play. But there’s a way to reconcile that, right?
STEVENS: There are two ways to get inside-out: driving or posting.
LOWE: In other words: The post-up is more a vehicle for passing and other shots, rather than necessarily for a post-up shot itself?
STEVENS: It’s a vehicle for playing inside-out.
