How do the double team options work?
Double teaming a player will put more defensive pressure on the player selected, reducing the number of shots he’ll be able to take, the number of open shots he’ll see and could lead to more turnovers if they player doesn’t pass well. On the other hand, if a player is double teamed, that means somebody is open – giving the open player(s) more open shots than they’d normally see. Setting a player to ‘always’ will double team him when he has the ball. Setting a player to ‘leading scorer’ will only double team him if he is the leading point scorer for his team.
