Good point.  I think Williams is big enough to set a decent screen, and also a good recipient on the pick and pop. Since he is pretty accurate on open threes, they will be hesitant to hedge with his defender, thus preventing a defensive double team, a situation I'll call the Chukwu Problem.

McLeod might also be a solution. Although he can't shoot, he is a good receiver of lobs and definitely can  dunk it, even in traffic.

But the thing I want to see is a version of the weave, where the guards are setting screens for each other, thus creating a little chaos in the defense that is easy to exploit.

Two guys who are very good getting to the rim setting screens for each other, with two good shooters spreading the defense from their favorite spots, and a tall guy who can dunk off the dish.  Its like a dream come true.  Mintz, Starling, Bell, Williams and Mcleod in this particular lineup.  Depending on shooting, Westry and Copeland can do the Mintz/Starling role, and Taylor can switch out for Bell/Williams.

We'll have to do different things when we are playing Westry/Copeland with Mintz and Starling, or when Brown is in for Williams.

So many things can be done with this team on offense.
