Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 3304728, member: 229"] It's a tough spot to play. Don't allow penetration and still be able to cover how much ground to a shooter? Frank was good at it because he was 6-4 with long arms. I don't think Frank was any quicker than Joe though. Joe will play the spot better as he learns how to anticipate better. Nobody has even mentioned that they moved the 3 point line back a foot and a half this year and if it's impacted the D. I think it has, as shooters are setting up much further back. When I say that Girard is still learning how to play D, that's because he barely guarded guards in his entire HS career. Every game I watched him play he was either down low in the back of the zone or matched up against fowards because he was one of the tallest kids on the court. [/QUOTE]
