[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 849554, member: 2299"] I think because he's at the same spot as Lammers with the way we used Ben that people think we're using him the same way. But I don't think that is the case. Ironically, it looks to me like we go to that set to get Howard out of the way. By putting him at the top of the key his defender has to at least play token defense on him least Roddy take one dribble strong to the rim and go up which you aren't going to allow a big to do no matter how little he has shown. Roddy can do that if they just completely leave him. But once he is there we use the fact we basically run two guards and two wings to threaten two different ideas on the off ball movement. We threaten the tight curl dribble hand off and if teams play ball deny to try and defend that we threaten the back door. It puts a lot of pressure on defenders to show hard and recover over and over, and because of our lineup we do it to every defender, not just their best defender. It is hard to sustain that type of defense without guys getting tired and allowing lanes. Now, yes it would be nice if he could hit the 15 footer and drive from that spot, and hopefully he might develop that, but I think the look is more about off ball movement than it is about him making plays ala Lammers. At least that is my take. [/QUOTE]
