Very good post, but i disagree w one bullet pt:

[LIST]
[*]If the ball does make it into the high post, 5 comes to defend, W3 and W4 mustcollapse to the low block.
[/LIST]
I think this is part of any young forwards problem in learning JBs zone. I actually dont think the forwards MUST collapse. I think it will be HUGE this year for SU for Rak has to handle most of the centers (or whoever gets it in the high post) one on one. Ie the key to our defense is that Rak will NOT need help in the high post and the forwards can focus on defending the wings, baseline and rebounding. I think this is part of the mistakes TRob and McC were making, they were collapsing to the middle when it wasnt necessary and that left wide open 3s on the wings. Obviously they also struggled when Carl. overloaded two guys on their wing , they closed too aggressively on the first guy and werent able to recover to the second guy nearly quickly enough. I think they ll figure it out much better as time goes by.
