I understand why fast players would be better than slow players in a half court offense, but I don’t understand why they’d struggle in a fast paced offense. Is it just text or is there some in-game truth here?

This give head coaches a heads up as to changing Offensive Pace in Game Tactics to suit such players. Is it just text Look at the box scores throughout the season. Examine the Fast Break Points statistical column and the Turnovers column to see how the players are doing. is there some in-game truth here? Slower pace requires dazzling dimes. A motion offense will be required. IU's all-time leading scorer was a fast pace struggler. The struggle is real.
