Lot of folks say they want to see more small ball, some love that we have even more length this coming season so why not play with that length? What style do YOU want to see from this next team?
Me, I want us to attack more on both ends and I think we have the depth to do just that. I want us in the running game and forcing the tempo to being white hot, speed the opponents up. When you have guys that LOVE to push the pace, to get in that up and down game, guys like Joel, Theo, 7th, Jalek, BRob, and Kenny if he is healthy, PLatek as well. Use em all, push the pace and bring in fresh legs in waves. Attack the basket on offense, don't let em get set, finish or kick, primary and secondary break em till they break.
On defense, again, we have the guys that will attack on defense, recall Joel hassling ball handles early last season 3/4 court so they thought about getting past mid court more than getting their team in an offensive set, I want to see that as a constant and not just from Joel. 7th would thrive in that, Kenny as well, I think BRob would, I know Theo would and Cam will when that pace is set. We have the bigs in Huffman, Brooks, Luke, and hopefully Manley and Walker to run the court and rebound.
I want to see us create back court turn overs, have them dragging so we can do what we used to do under Dean, win the last 5mins of every half because the other team has no legs. Pull the ball out of the basket on a made shot and still push it, clamp down and defend off our own made baskets, tire their ball handlers out physically and mentally! Switch token pressure to flat out hawking and trapping, keep them thinking what we will do rather than knowing what we will do and how to attack us.
