This is why you have to have productive and versatile bigs to go with your guards
Lonny Baxter
Chris Wilcox
Tahj Holden
Ryan Randle
Wilcox and Holden could shoot, they all had good footwork and good hands around the basket, and they could intimidate most teams from trying to feast in the paint.
Even though the season isn't over, I am handing out summer assignments to Ceko and Bender - work on your shot out to 15'. If you can do that, opposing bigs have to come out on you (they don't bother today), and then you have truly opened the lane for our guards and guard/forwards. Work on footwork towards and around the basket, and for crying out loud, get stronger hands so you can actually hold onto the rebounds you snatch. .
