Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3750912, member: 833"] You said it better than I said it. I would add that it is really hard to screen with a center above the 3 point line when there are 4 out because a defender is usually close enough to the screen to either help or trap on the screen. The problem with everyone around the perimeter is that it actually reduces spaces for the outside players. It is harder to drive and it is harder to shoot 3's. Seton Hall will start most sets with 4 or 5 out, but they immediately drop a wing in to screen, and often send another cutter baseline to use a backscreen by the 5 around the block. That action is hard to defend, especially when they do it with the Georgian. Either he is going to end up with an open shot, have a driving lane if the defender tries to go over the screen, or have a 1 on 1 against a smaller player if the defense switches. All those outcomes suck if you are the defense. [/QUOTE]
