Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5753477, member: 722"] I suspect there is a synergistic effect with having multiple guys that steal the ball well as well. The best example I remember was the Andy Rautins, Wes Johnson, Scoop Jardine team with 7 guys over .9 steals per game, and everybody on the roster was 2+ steals%. That team averaged 9.6 steals per game, but that didn't begin to explain the effect they had on the opposing offense. The trap out of the 2-3 near the sideline was so effective you could tell we were getting a steal long before the play developed. Opponents were so worried about it getting stolen, they stayed out of about a third of the offensive court. That team was just dominant defensively. [/QUOTE]
