[QUOTE="FiveStar, post: 1300663, member: 603998"] Agree with everything you said, and want to make a few offense specific, general additions. 1) ALL players, including the bigs you mentioned, will need to develop their low post game more. Cutter 2 of this offense cuts directly into a post up. Guards will probably need one "go-to" they're comfortable with and one counter for that. They'll also have to learn to read when to pin their defender for the lob over the top, and learn to finish that way. 2) As everybody knows we did a lot of standing around the last 5 years. All players are going to have to learn to score off cuts. It sounds easy, but when you're sprinting a cut when you're not used to cutting at all, there's a lot of coordination required to read the defense, cut at the right angle, find the ball, catch the ball, find the rim, and finish over your defender.
