[QUOTE="hodgesonfire, post: 1238799, member: 8154"] While explosiveness and athleticism are good on offence a less quick player can still use size, shooting touch and tenacity to score and rebound. Where quickness really is crucial is on defence especially with the new hand check rules and the shift to 3 shooters on the arc. Quick teams like Duke have always done well because they recover to shooters and can guard dribblers, forcing teams into more midrange shots. This is where we struggled last year and may struggle agsin this season, but Tracy will really help imo. He's a good one on one defender and can let Hill stick to a 3 on defense and a quicker 2 or 1 [/QUOTE]
