Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4201857, member: 1414"] All true. My complaints about the hard hedge mostly come when those uncontested layups are coming possession after possession (or when a player who cannot do it is asked to (Carlton, Johnson). Call it off and leave the 5 at home to ensure those drives are contested. Hurley eventually did that yesterday and it helped us close out the game on a run. I think it also depends on our personnel at any given moment. Polley is pretty good guarding the corner 3. He's terrible recovering to the paint to contest a driving guard. Martin is quite good at that and so is Akok. Jackson is ok at it. So the risk of sending Sanogo or Whaley outside the 3 line as a five increases if our 3/4 aren't Martin/Akok/Jackson. When we have Polley and Hawkins as the forwards, as we did at times, the 5 needs to camp in the paint (although Hawk is improving). [/QUOTE]
