[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 935533, member: 2299"] I'd argue that even under Rev we struggled to utilize true low post type bigs. Lammers fit well because of his skill set, but Banks never really seemed to seem comfortable on offense, but his defense was so good that he remained on the floor, and you can see that when the team started to get better, after putting in the new offense, his numbers declined a good bit the last 12 or so games. Moses developed well but was also more of a stretch 4 type who could shoot and put the ball on the floor. And Howard didn't seem to gel even when we had rev. To me the issue seems more that the coaching staff doesn't do a great job developing bigs who don't possess some ability to step away from the basket and work effectively, either through passing, shooting, or putting it on the floor. I think that is somewhat reflected in the bigs we've brought in as I would argue that type of set up suited Gigiberia and Martynov better than Banks or Howard, although maybe not at this level for Gigiberia. I think the staff also hasn't done a good job of get bigs enough experience before really relying on them heavily. We got away with it with Lammers and Banks almost out of necessity, but Howard didn't get a lot of experience until last year where he was expected to give us starter minutes. [/QUOTE]
