i haven't looked at them like i normally do. that's on me.
i DO know they have the two bigs. ellenson is not an animal per se, but he's not soft. and he's skilled, midrange in. dude can play.
fischer, kind of soft to me. but he gives them a skilled option in the post
they are not a great shooting team, but cheatham can get hot.
johnson, carter, not so much. play them to drive
wilson is streaky...a hot head too. but he gives them great energy, speed and heart off the bench. good 6th man.
they will mix defenses...in part b/c they are not a great defensive team.
that said...DSR HAS to make good decisions. lets keep it real, at THIS juncture he's the only real pg option on the team, so it falls on him. good or bad.
copeland could feast...a dialed in copes is a problem for them...they have no real swings outside of johnson, who comes off the bench. and copes is better. he just has to be dialed into the TOTAL game.
would like so see md on duck in posts..mid range, where he SHOULD be a force.
press marquette as well. i would go to that full court man/trap, where they don't guard the inbounder, trap on the first catch and scramble behind that. not constantly, but selectively.
