Is Bernard King worth it?

[lexxon11]

Just copped Bernard King and played about 10 games with him and I am perplexed on how to use him.
I am trying to use him like his prime playing days in the pinch post but i have been very inconsistent.

Any Advice will be very much appreciated.

There are a lot of ways you can use him. For me, he was great on the fast break, he was a great spot up shooter and defender, and he was the player I learned to take off dribble midrange shots with. He was never the focal point of my offense, but I know others have used him that way.

Thanks, he good at finishing and drawing fouls, but i haven't been able to get him off in the post or in the half court.

maybe i should run a play for him to get him open in the half court set.

Have him pull up off a pick. His moving jumper is money. And run plays for him for sure.

Yeah, his moving midrange is very good. If you can get open lane, he throws down hard.

I usually worked post up. He has a good post fade. Work the post hop shots. And also come out of post up into moving midrange shots like sidesteps and stepbacks.

I would use a shoe to boost his post fade by 9, and use that as foundation of his repertoire.

Call Iso pinch, face up, attack or dribble moving mid/step back. He's old school mid range game. He's great at drawing fouls, getting g to the ft line, and hitting jaw dropping contested moving mids.

I loved him earlier in the year but don't run with him anymore.

Wow, thanks great information. I am excited to practice this new repertoire with him thanks
