Go Big Or Go Home

[al would]

I'll preface this post by telling all that I've had some beers .. so take it with a grain of salt, or pint of ale.

Could UNC put a "pro sized" productive line up on the floor with Meeks,Hicks,Bradley,JJ at the 2 and JBII on point? You guys talk about the small ball line up but could we play a big ball line up ?

No way

I reckon after a few beers that'd sound good.

Yes, I imagine we could, spacing among that crowd would be important.

The best defender in space of that group as we speak is Hicks and he'd probably foul out in about 45 seconds. I do think we could play Bradley at the 5 and Kennedy in more of the Brice roll at the line against zones, but that would have some defensive repercussions as well.

We would go home

Yeah .. it doesn't sound as good after a nights sleep. Defensively it is problematic unless you play some sort of zone but I was thinking offensively with JB and JJ as the guards the defense would have to respect the outside and that might open up the middle for some chip shots in and around the lane. It just seems our 2 spot isn't getting much respect or production especially from the 3 pt. line.

We need Theo.

 

[al would]

yeah .. Theo would make a big difference .. he plays/played great defense and his ability to drive and make plays would add a lot to the 2 slot .. and if he comes back with a mid-range to 3 pt. shot it totally changes the entire offense and the way others would have to defend. It's still early in the season and I know this team has more upside than down.

If Theo still has the human catapult shot motion, no we don't need that but his intensity, hustle and defense are positives.
Not a soul on our team shot well last game.
