You take too many 3's when you don't have anybody inside who can score.  Guards should not be the primary scorers in the paint.  Martin, who everybody wants to play power forward, is a guard.  Jackson is a guard.  The five out offense is trying to clear the lane so small players can drive and score.  Put one big in the paint on D and leave him there and the strategy is erased, and that team now can only shoot 3s.

I agree with much of what Nelson said.  Carlton is a matchup nightmare for almost every team we play.  Our team has two advantages.  1. Bouknight is great.  2. We can play far bigger than almost anybody we face.  We normally throw that second advantage in the toilet every game.  As far as I can tell, we do it because Hurley has a defensive system that requires his centers to defend the perimeter as if they are guards.  Why any center would come here, I do not know.  Other teams do this only  because they have small guys like Robinson-Earl playing center.  They wouldn't do it if they had real centers.
