What does this really mean assuming there are no major changes in the system we use presently? From a defensive perspective there is no 3 or 4 - just the two wings in the zone. Not an issue here.

I think offensively it's a question of skill sets and how they mesh more than a pigeon-holed 1 through 5 delineation. The ideal is to have 3 players on the floor with fairly strong ball skills - respectable shooters out to 3 point range, decent handle and ability to drive to the hole and find teammates with better opportunities to score. Not all three have to be plus performers in all aspects but a strong mix is essential to run an effective half court offense.

Roster is by no means set for next year. Players with eligibility may or may not be gone and new names will be added but Battle, Howard and to at least some extent Lydon and even Thompson have shown potential to be more than low post scorers. I'm not sure what to expect from Moyer or Brissett as either could prove to possess a much broader skill set than what we have seen in limited exposure. But, while far from the desired state I think there will be effective options.
