There’s a term making its way around NBA circles right now, that’s an apt description of certain offenses, based around a certain type of player. Heliocentric.
The comparison is that the rest of the team orbits the “sun” or key player. That player is typically both a scorer and a distributor, and in the two main examples, a rugged attacker of the basket who draws plenty of fouls. Such a player forces the defense to commit extra, sometimes nearly all, its resources to stopping him.
The “gravity” of this sun-like player, creates open shots for players in the corner, on the perimeter, for cutters, and for a pick and roll partner big man to catch alley oops and dunk the ball at the rim.
