Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1938399, member: 485"] It is a good debate (where does White fit in the zone; and can Thompson close out on 3 point shooters), but I would not get too stuck on conclusions based on one exhibition. IUP has a small team, with 4 returning starters from a unit that was successful at their level. They moved the ball well. On the other side, this was the first time out for White in our zone, and the first college game for Thompson. They will get better at what JB wants them to do. And, they will play teams that have more inside scoring, and White and Thompson might defend better against that. In figuring White's role, you have to consider where he plays when he is on the court with Battle and Howard/Gillon. He will need to swing between the top (when he is the 2 on offense) and the back of the zone, once JB settles into his best line-up that has Battle and White on the court. [/QUOTE]
