Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3872534, member: 405"] Craig Forth did a pretty good job for us just staying at home in the middle of the zone. He had great lateral footwork to cut off the baseline drive, and I think he was born knowing how to hold his hands straight up on defense. He got so many blocks from just standing tall, not even having to jump. Plus he used to be outstanding at setting picks to get McNamara open for 3's from the wing. He used to do that hand-off, block, and Gerry would usually get an open look. I would be happy to have a guy do that for us again, plus be able to present in the low post, and score with his back to the basket over either shoulder. Last guy we had who could do that out of high school was probably Rick Jackson. Arinze really developed his low post moves in his red shirt year, if I recall correctly. Sidibe actually was a pretty promising kid in high school. Such a shame about all his injuries. [/QUOTE]
