Message: [QUOTE="Peacefrog, post: 5329449, member: 986"] I thought Samson was very good at the high hedge in many regards. Maybe most importantly, that he was quick enough to get back onto his guy in the paint before anything bad could happen. His issue, however, was fouling while hedging. I don't know if anyone cares to look ( I sure don't) but it seemed like a solid half of Samson's fouls occurred near or beyond the three point line. That was a bad use of his fouls. I'd rather our centers commit their fouls trying to block a shot in the paint or trying to get a rebound. The reaching in 25' from the basket on a 6-foot guard was all risk and no reward. He just didn't seem to be able to help himself. Reed seems nimble enough to effectively hedge but picking the pocket of the opposition's point guard probably shouldn't be any part of objective.
