Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3153349, member: 5823"] I don't think it is was fatigue or depth that cause Geno to stray away from using the press more effectively over the last 3 years. It was more of a skill set issue. You need two things to make the press work effectively you need fast twitch activity at the top and rim protection at the back. On this current team ONO might emerge as that rim protector but among the current UCONN guards I don't see that fast twitch at the top to deny even adequate ball handler and force the ball handler to speed up. When Geno pressed last year he used Napheesa at the top and it was mostly token pressure. The guards are all going to have to play good individual & better team defense to even get on the floor.
