[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 916610, member: 2784"] We are going to need Howard's big body at multiple points this year. As much as I like I love Franklin's motor and explosiveness, teams like UNC are just going to make him look like the undersized PF he is. Though a lot of games Franklin is going to be all we need. But back to Howard, as you are getting at, we have to use him for what he is - a big body with a sub par set of hands. High pick and rolls with emphasis on rolling hard to the basket. And more than just using Howard more appropriately, I think it will spread out our offense in a way it needs - create a much more open lane for driving and hopefully create some advantageous switches on the high screens. Get the defense moving a lot more than they are now. I think this could/should help our overall shot selection as well. On the other side, Howard has to come with a whole lot more energy/motor than he has so far. He got pulled for a lack of energy last night followed by a marshmallow attempt at a close in shot when he did get the ball down low. As you said, don't worry about getting it blocked just go hard and let the chips fall where they may. But most of all - like Luke - bring the energy/motor to the game so it isn't such an obvious difference between Howard and Franklin as it is now. [/QUOTE]
