[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 298890, member: 2784"] Most of the major points have been made but I will chime in with my view. For whatever reason this year's team plays defense with a lot more energy than CBG's teams generally did. I don't think they get more TOs - could be wrong - but they do close out better and stay in front of folks better. The switching defenses does help but the major thing that is different is the way Lammers has played. No one for CBG could protect the rim like he has. Personally I loved to watch Mitchell pound folks in the paint but they didn't have a chance of blocking or altering shots the way he does. His improvement and the way he plays defense just by itself makes the whole team so much better on that end. CJP's offense is targeted to the strengths of the players we have. Note no one tries to make a living on the block because we don't have anyone that can - including Lammers. The motion opens up lanes for Okogie and Tadrick if the other team doesn't just sag - which is what happened at the end of the year. But the design versus players was excellent. Most of all, I give CJP credit for the combination of player development and fitting the players into roles they can do. Lammers, Q and Tadrick are vastly improved over last year. Heath plays within himself. Okogie is light years ahead of where he was advertised. They all get asked to bust their behind on D but not to do things they can't on offense. Obviously I wish we had a shooter but we don't so make what you do have work. Going forward I hope he can recruit with the big boys (top 50 kids mixed in with an occasional trip to the Burger Bar) and continue to develop and utilize talent like he and his assistants have. Do that and we can be in the top quarter or so of the ACC. I would take that and run. [/QUOTE]
