[QUOTE="katytxillini, post: 1268561, member: 555826"] Completely agree with your point on getting 5 shooters out there at once. I think you could even trade out Finke for Black. You are certainly losing a bit of shooting, but Black has proven competent in that and would at least give a bit of defensive balance. I don't think this team could handle switching from man to zone on the fly. I'm more of the idea to pack it in, limit penetration and force teams to beat us over the top (like UVA). Offensively, we need to put pressure on the defense with both players running the ball screen. No one is afraid of Abrams shooting or penetrating and they really aren't fearful of any bigs going to the rim. Finke can pop and Black can a bit as well. Right now, anytime we have a possession where I see a screen not on the ball I get excited. We can't create penetration with this team off the dribble but we could scheme it. Right now all screens are either ball screens or ones for guys coming off to the three point line. Nothing going to the rim. [/QUOTE]
