What mechanics are you using? I was taught as lead never, in a half cour offense, to get wider than halfway between the lane and the 3 point arc. If there is a matchup in that corner, I open up to see the play, but I really leave more of that area in the corner to the T. I'm only there to help. If the matchup is beyond the 3 point arc, I don't even look. That is certainly the T. Also, I do go deeper as L in 3 man. I was taught, especially on rebounding to take a couple steps back after a shot, much like closing down when you are C or T.
