Man, I hope we're not paying you by the word.
So does having this system inhibit us from getting the athletic players we’d need to increase steals who want to play in a more agressive defensive system? Do we not play like that because we don’t have the players? Will be curious if we revert back at all, at least at times to mix it up.Thanks for posting, good read.
We'll see with the 2020 class, but guys like Elliott, Cain, Bailey, Akanno, & Torrence have the physical attributes to force turnovers. Elliott & Cain have already shown that on the court.The question will be if Wojo considers more pressure on the ball handler, allows players to gamble on steals, and gives minutes to the players best suited to create turnovers and transition scoring.I feel like Wojo's roster is going into a third phase. His first shift from Buzz's recruits was to bring in shooters like Carlino, Rowsey, Hauser, & Howard. When we were being out-physicaled, he recruited Theo & Ed. Now he's working on longer athletic types. Interestingly, many of the same switchable skills Buzz favored.If he can find athletes with the length, physicality, & shooting skills, we'll be in a very good place. But those recruits are in very high demand.
ND sucks
