I have a gut feeling you may see a lot more defenses thrown out, changing from zone's and traps to man. I think they do present some mismatches on D and we need people out of foul trouble……..it's not like we rebound great off of man anyway so the loss of rebounding percentage isn't crippling……….
There is also a chance you see Kromah and Giffey in there so we can match Dawson and Payne with them. I get the Payne is tall stuff, but a good 6'6 guy making him shoot it from the perimeter is a better choice than backing people down. Izzo may very likely do that anyway but Payne plays better when he can take it from the wing………
Bottom line no matter what KO and the staff does, we need to make shots, be all over the place on D and REBOUND like never before!
