Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4456967, member: 6696"] Agree 100%. It made sense to throw Whaley into a high hedge on most every pick and roll he saw... he was ridiculously talented at it. Sanogo being more conservative makes sense. It also helps having a pretty high-IQ defender on the back line with (usually) Karaban moving in to cover the roll man. Alex isn't going to stuff an athletic 7-footer at the rim, but he's got sound positional defense and seems to be pretty good at playing straight up and taking the hit to the chest. In an ideal world, you have an athletic, shotblocking freak back there like Samson or Akok... but those types of players are tough to come by. If they've got enough defensive IQ to be in position, and enough offense to keep a defense honest, they're often 5* type players. [/QUOTE]
