Message: [QUOTE="SlicinNDyson11, post: 3853551, member: 748"] The hard hedge has worked for us most of the year, we rank in the 76th percentile defending pick and rolls per Synergy pretty good. Typically our weakside defender does a good job by rotating to the paint preventing an easy pass, and the pressure from the hard hedge makes it difficult for the ball handler to find the roll man and forces him to swing the ball around the perimeter to find the big. There has been occasions I've seen the weakside defender leave a second or two before our big gets back to his man and that leads to a layup but we've been successful at this more times than not thus far. Where this can get us into trouble is if we run into teams that have a big that can pop out for a three and hit a consistent rate but against the pick and roll we've been very good at weakside rotation while our big is hedging.
