[QUOTE="KSmooth, post: 1503866, member: 7250"] A couple of questions for any X and O experts out there: 1. I hear a lot of conflicting opinions on whether or not Georgi and Kofi are effective together. On one side there doesn't seem to be much room for the two bigs together, on the other hand it's claimed that GB is the only player consistently getting the ball to KC down low. I lean more toward the latter -- that you should be able to have Georgi play the four with Kofi in the middle. Is there something I should be looking for in terms of statistics or movement that might say otherwise? 2. What is the "weave" supposed to accomplish? I see guys running along the top of the three-point arc in opposite directions, and the ball going back and forth, and then...I dunno. Are there supposed to be cutters? Are we trying to set up a mismatch? Get someone on the defense out of position? Are we forgetting to do something? I don't pretend to be an expert on basketball tactics, but for all I can tell it's just 5-10 seconds wasted. [/QUOTE]
