Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 3345655, member: 9636"] Watching teams recruit bigs you begin to see the game change from one tall post, two medium wings, and two fast guards to ones loaded with three 6’ 5” plus players who dominate in the paint. To combat you need fast players, players with high BB IQ and players who can pass on a dime and reliably shoot the three while playing a fast transition game. In other words, a Geno team. I recall “slow” smart Ania driving to basket, drawing opponents in, then in mid drive quickly firing to teammate for a three. That way you force their often slower, less athletic bigs to defend perimeter, opening the paint to cutting darters with a scrappy Aubrey fighting for a OR. Or that’s how it works on paper. Or you just recruit a Bueckers or a Fudd. We won’t have one sixth player, we will have three or four. Convincing players to play 20 quality team minutes instead of 35 is the tough part. The future doesn’t look good, it looks Stewie or DT great. Yeah, call me Captain Obvious. I am trying to convince myself—and succeeding. [/QUOTE]
