It's actually designed to stop the best perimeter shooters on the other team, guards or no.  Yes, technically it's a junk defense.  But technically any defense that isn't M2M is a junk defense.  In my mind, any defense that gets results is a good defense.  This was the first time I can remember that Azzi has ever seen this type of defense, and certainly the first for the team this year.  Azzi's going to have to get used to the many "junk" defenses coaches will throw at her.  But I'm reminded of what Lindsey Allan said of playing against Geno.  She faced pretty much every kind of defense to stop her, including this diamond and two and the box and one defense.  For her she said they were all lessons in basketball that served her well, learning that she could effectively attack anything the defense threw at her.  The same for Azzi.  The next time she see's it she'll react immediately.  What defenses are going to learn, and what I've said since I saw her play in HS, is that her pull up going from left to right is deadly, and stopping that movement will soon become the other teams point of focus.  Azzi will then learn to adapt to that as well.
