Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2039784, member: 488"] You want Adams touching the ball in the paint as much as possible. How we go about that will be dictated by a few things, most notably how defenses are guarding ball screens and whether our forwards are good enough to alleviate some of the pressure. For instance, how is Larrier as a screener? If he's a good one, for his size, then you want him and Adams to pick and pop as much as possible. With the '11 team, we really only had three playmakers on the court at one time since neither Roscoe or Oriakhi could make plays in traffic, so it made sense to move Kemba off the ball to spots on the floor where it became harder for the defense to trap. It seems like Durham and Jackson are both fairly skilled, so I'd imagine the pieces will fit together well. One thing to consider about Vital's emergence: Gilbert better be able to shoot or he's going to have a tough time playing significant minutes. For a while there in '14, Boat was clogging the floor and making things more difficult than they had to be for Bazz. It'll be interesting to see how things play out. [/QUOTE]
