Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4827186, member: 1414"] We don't need to play zone, we just need Johnson in drop. Hurley set the defense up like last year. Hedging with Johnson/Sanogo (because that's the way he wants to play) and in drop with Clingan. The reality is we don't have forwards that are good enough covering the paint to run the high hedge even with Johnson. It's even worse when one of them is Ball. If we are facing a 5 that shoots from outside, then the 5 needs to go out. Otherwise they should be in drop. If we had Donyell, Donny Marshall, Stanley Robinson or Deandre Daniels at F it would be a different story. Honestly, that's what Johnson was supposed to be at the 4. This defense really needs weakside help shot blocking. Maybe Castle can do that, he did a bit yesterday, but he needs to be starting. [/QUOTE]
