[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 977633, member: 2784"] No question - why I tried to label it as our "core" approach not our only set. We have run a set that starts with downscreens and has a nice curl action and we also ran a nice flex cut set a couple of times for a Deebo corner 3. I am sure there are a couple I missed. So I am not saying we don't have alternative sets or that CDS doesn't know any other way to set up his offense. Simply saying we stuck primarily with the high ball screen and space approach almost all of the Cincy game and most of the others. It was the set Kelly used to beat Howard late in the game. But IMHO we don't have the athleticism/handle it takes to be successful as our core offense versus our competition. We are going to have to use off ball motion/screening and lots of structured passes to get defenses to move/rotate rather than depend on beating close outs one on one. FWIW while I call it an NBA offense, it is also a core concept many high end AAU teams use with "all star" teams. They will bet a good PG can initiate an offense by beating his guy off the dribble with or without a pick and happy to bet their guy can beat your guy on a close out one on one situation in a well spaced court. Makes a lot of sense when you have superior athletes/players. So this is a concept our guys played a lot in AAU coming up. You also see it or at least parts of it in a lot of college approaches. I thought the Hobbs hire was a really good one. I have no doubt that between him and CDS they can come up with an alternative scheme they can get comfortable with. Question will be whether they agree with the underlying premise that we don't have the horses yet to count on routinely beating defenders off the dribble from the point or off the wing. If they do then they will move to an alternative scheme as the core approach. If not then I hope our defense really improves. [/QUOTE]
