Message: [QUOTE="Ernj, post: 5763507, member: 494"] Do you mean the 2016 Villanova team who's starting "forward" was a 6'11" guy who played 23+ minutes. Or the 2018 team whose 4 guards 6'3", 6'5", 6'7", and 6'8". While they played a 4 guard lineup they were big guards. My only argument is if you are going to play small ball you need very special group of players to make up height. Your message proved exactly my point. 2016 Villanova 4 out of 5 starters made it to the NBA with 6 total. 3 of them are considered stars (Brunson, Hart and Bridges). The guy who they had enough confidence to take the winning shot in the title game is not one of the six. 2018 Villanova was very similar except they had 7 guys who made it to the NBA. So again, small ball is the unicorn, if there are a whole bunch of guys that can make up for lack of height. [/QUOTE]
