What does that even mean?
PnR / Spread Offense.
Modern? The pick and role is the oldest play in basketball. "Spread" meaning "kick it out to your center so he can hit a three" is over blown. Hitting the open man for an open jumper is basic basketball.
Too much emphasis is being put into the triangle offense. These bum knicks are running it well now. Knicks just need to sign guys that will continue to fill that mold. D'Angelo Russell is a basketball player more than just a point guard. I think the kid would flourish in the triangle. Everything he excels in is what can be amplified in this offense. The pick and roll is very much a part of the triangle anyway. So is kicking it out for open jumpers. So this modern offense doesn't exist. It's basketball not rocket science.
Couldn't agree with you more....
