[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 702321, member: 2784"] Your position on Moses is not unreasonable but I think you are mixing things up in the way you are expressing it. No question Moses is not a classic 5 as far as a strong side post defender. If/when he plays the 5 on defense we are either going to have to play zone or change the way we play defense and double the post routinely - whether from guards or the backside forward (aka UVA). What I don't think this means is that we have to or want to play Moses as a grind it out on the block old school 5 on offense. Moses can and should be a great modern big looking to set ball screens and make rim runs. Or get the ball around the foul line and go to work. In fact if we keep the dribble drive offense and have folks trying to get to the rim routinely, the last thing I want is Moses (or any 5 really) thinking they need to camp out on the block with their defender there to help on the drive. If he were matched on a 5, I could even see us playing some 5 out offense to really open things up. My 2 keys on offense next year are opening up the lane (spacing) and pushing the ball. That plays to our strength but it is a totally (well mostly totally) different way of playing than the double post or Moses in the corner as a 4 offense we have played. With Moses at the 5 I think we can improve more on offense than we will admittedly lose on defense. [/QUOTE]
