Message: [QUOTE="6Nattys4Us, post: 5212784, member: 13819"] 2 different things here: 1. Big should be around the hoop, but not necessarily just standing under the basket. Let them go 5-6 feet if they can get back quickly. I don't recall seeing Edey patrolling the 3 pt line nor Ayton or KAT, etc...not nearly to the level that Johnson does. 2. Leaving guards out on an island doesn't necessitate the Center is involved. Plenty of teams can use 2 guards and a wing to handle this. We struggle with Ball and Diarra and taller guards setting screens, and PnRs. But Johnson vacates the paint for extended periods of time and that does leave the lane open and does make AK or Liam have to guard the wing 3 and the paint. How many layups or open 3s because AK or Liam have to hedge simply because there's no one in the paint? It's more concerning that we [U]need [/U]Johnson to cover high screens and pick and rolls for 3s. [/QUOTE]
