Yeah? You just described everybody that I guarded in pick up ball during 4 years of undergrad and two of grad school at ISU!
Offense in the NBA, especially in the playoffs, is essentially...
-- find the weak link on defense
-- find a mismatch or exploit on them
-- exploit them until they change something
-- if they do not change, then drill them on it until they do
College offenses are increasingly learning that lesson, too. Teams were obviously doing it against us when we had Lewis (and Griffin) on the floor.
I am glad the players in your pick-up league had internalized that strategy.
I have said this before on here, but we mostly talk about our offense. However, our offense was fine last year. It was good even. Our defense was atrocious. Our various lineup, roster construction, and recruiting conversations need to ask, "Who could this guy guard at the B12 level?" way more often than they actually do right now.
