Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5435078, member: 405"] What Craig did well, he was exceptional at. His pick handoffs to Gerry on the wing off an inbounds play were money. He set crushing picks. On defense, he got his blocked shots frequently without jumping. Just made himself tall with hands up high. It also prevented him from getting in foul trouble too much. And the thing he was so underrated at, and was a key to that zone, was that he would seal off the baseline, like he was a wall that would not be passed. To visualize what I'm talking about, Melo was remarkable using the baseline, and could always seem to get around his defender without going out of bounds, or getting trapped under the backboard, or under the rim. Forth took that away from guys, pretty much everybody. He was so great positionally protecting the back line of the zone, to keep guys from getting behind us and getting to the rim. [/QUOTE]
