The most special thing about this team is...
Posted: Sat Feb 28, 2015 2:07 pmAs much as you want to maybe say the greatness of Nic, or Sterling/Ryan raising their game, I think I would say having 4 post guys who can move, defend and score is a really special thing.
The basketball purist would need to tell me just how special, but I can't remember any SMU team that had four guys that can move, pass, score and defend inside. I also cant think of any current AAC team who can say that, and probably only a handful of teams in the country with that luxury. Is that incorrect, or is it as rare as it seems?
All four can come out and defend the perimeter, and still make it back in to defend, deflect a pass or grab a rebound. All four can hit a nice jump shot. Most teams seem to have one or two in that category, and some additional stiffs who don't move so well or score so well.
It gives LB a ton of choices. I like our chances when LB (or Jank) has a bunch of options to draw from to shut down the other team.
