I think at this point I would support a 1040-A or 1040 EZ for spurts of 5-6 minutes. I would prefer it not be always at the start of games. It is usually most successful when the opposition is not ready for it. Try it at the half sometimes or coming out of the break.
It's imperative that we run a far more effective full court press. Our guards will be more talented and deeper. TJ has been in a similar system for years. It will minimize our lack of height and maximize our trewasure trove of speed.

What did Ray Goss call it... Frenzy Ball? I believe we will see a lot of trapping and full court press, with Ron picking his spots to mix it up and go zone, or zone press. I think El Duque is right, the wild cards are how well D-Mart (if eligible) and Rodrigo play and manage the 5 spot. (NT) -- CLK, Monday, August 16, 09:11:21pm
- Actually CLK, the trapping, pressing defenses really minimizes the need for a true 5. It's all about speed. The slower plodding big men are at a disadvantage in this style of play. (NT) -- TMH, Monday, August 16, 10:12:40pm
  - Would that explain the current recruiting class? Or is that a rhetorical question? And that one too? -- El Duque, Monday, August 16, 10:36:35pm
