Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4496697, member: 1414"] Early yes, but then he stopped and did the thing [USER=1522]@superjohn[/USER] calls "no man's land". Sticks to screener but doesn't high hedge. Honestly, if we are going to go over screens, then we need the big to cut the ball handler off and stop that penetration. The guard is going to have to defend the screener in P&R. That's what we've run for two years. This year it changed, I think because Donovan can't play it. But this half-way D they run when Adama is in isn't working. I don't think he went from + defender to slug. Either play him just like Clingan or have him cut off the ball handler. The challenge for the guards is that their defensive role changes based on who is playing center. Honestly think that's at the heart of all of the dysfunction on defense right now. [/QUOTE]
