Message: [QUOTE="microfich, post: 4855972, member: 1029"] Some great posts, here. I'll take the question as can 24 win the whole thing and if so would they beat 23 as a team? Easier than imagining Karaban, Clingan and Newton guarding themselves. [B]+1: 24[/B]. Holdovers are even better now. [B]+1: 23[/B]. Dependability with Sanogo, Hawkins spotlighted so important at tournament time. 24 has contenders and performers every night but we rely on the system more. So far so good but will it be enough [U]every[/U] night? [B]+1: 23[/B]. Bench play with Joey and Nahiem as option 4s far superior to Ball and Stewart. Diarra creeping up, though. [B]0:[/B] 24 offensive scheme/flow better than 23 but that wouldn't have worked for 23 as Sanogo low was primary. [B]0:[/B] Castle is special and is comparable to Andre in some ways good and bad as the 5 option. He will be the reason 24 goes all the way or not and will move the needle closer toward 24 as the 23 vs. 24 winner if he finds ways to score. [B]23 ultimately wins[/B] 82-77 because they had a big game deadeye in Hawkins who could run over, under, around and through and find his slot. 24 will need to develop a way to spring Cam similarly, for the bench to deliver results beyond C and get points out of Castle.
