Agree.

This is exactly how we recruit, train and develop the players in our AAU club.

The players that were the tallest in the past were thrown down in the post and just told to be big. Those players are taught forward skills, and the good ones develop a handle.     We develop our players starting at 10/11 to play multiple positions (at least 2, sometimes 3) by JHS level.

I can deal with a team that has a traditional big in most cases, but the teams with multiple tall, athletic forwards are the problems.   I can deal with a dominant PG or any other specific position, but the teams with multiple good and interchangeable players, those teams are problems.

Red has the ingredients for a special style of play (ala - Nova) depending on what he decides.   He can counter most lineups thrown his way, but teams will have hard time countering all of his options.

- You can't press us, but we can press you, relentlessly
 - You have a dominant big, we have multiple to throw at you, and our biggest is bigger than yours
 - We can match your team size, height and skill, player for player, but you can't match ours

Really excited to see what he does and the personality the team develops.   Team chemistry will be key.
