[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 836956, member: 4110"] I think we all agree that is better to have scoring threats from every position. I'm not convinced that we will have zero scoring threats from the 5. It is too early to throw in that towel. But for argument sake, I don't think it kills us if we don't have a major scoring threat from the 5. In a half court set with a standard post up, any opposing 5 still has to defend a player with the ball close to the basket. If they leave a Center with the ball in the paint to go double another player then even a non-scorer can score with a strait undefended path to the rim. But we typically run our offense through the 5 at the elbow. They get the ball and cutters come around the screen for a pick and go. If the opposing 5 does not come out to show for a switch, then he is chasing the cutter in the paint. Either way, the opposing 5 has to step out and cover our 5 in the offense. The opposition trying to sag off of a non-scoring 5 to cover our perimeter players is a mismatch in our favor. Opposing Centers have to anchor the paint defensively whether or not our Centers are scoring options. By example, even AD Gueye commanded double teams from ACC teams and he averaged ~6ppg. [/QUOTE]
