Ben for sure. Yanick? I don't think he's really a dominating type guy unfortunately (love the kid, but I don't think he's got a "nasty" bone in his body).
I'm very concerned about them lighting it up from 3 pt land and sending their (home) crowd into a frenzy and we fold. "Folding" here doesn't mean like our football team folding (meaning they just lie down and die). "Folding" here means just trying too hard and losing FOCUSED intensity and poise.
Offensively, attack the rim. If you are open from 3pt land, SHOOT it (unless someone else is wide open at the rim or has superior position).
Defensively (perimeter), don't lose your man and COMMUNICATE. Be AGGRESSIVE on the perimeter, play PHYSICAL down low (box out!).
