Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 2401772, member: 5195"] The zone has been better simply by virtue of improved defensive rebounding, but in the games I've seen shooters are being left open consistently enough that it's going to be a problem against better teams. It's a function of a system that is not evolving to adapt to teams having 3 and 4 shooters with extended range. You can't bring both forwards up high AND at the same time defend the post, so something has to give. One solution is to stop collapsing to defend the post when the entry pass is made... this is when the shooters get free every single time. We're also not very good at denying the entry pass, so stop trying to sell out on it. Not many teams have the personnel specialized for the midrange game so give them that shot all night. Extend past the 3 point arc and let our shot blocker protect the rim. I'd like to see Bagley beat us with 15 footers all night. [/QUOTE]
