Message: [QUOTE="BurrowsSMG, post: 3175402, member: 7520"] I wrote about some of this briefly today in my preview for Colgate. The screens SU sets, in general, are just bad. In recent years, teams have just blitzed the ball-handler because screeners like Sidibe/Chukwu aren't threats offensively. Teams love trapping actions with the Syracuse 5 because you don't worry about the screener doing literally anything. I don't have the number of screens he set against the Cavs, but I know Sidibe [U][B][I]only set one screen that resulted in a shot attempt[/I][/B][/U] last week. One of my suggestions is using small-small screens more often with either guards screening for guards or getting Hughes/Quincy/Dolezaj more involved. We saw some nice actions against UVa when Dolezaj screened then rolled into the paint for a pass. There's no reason that Quincy/Dolezaj can't screen, take a pass on a roll then either attack the rim or pass out. [/QUOTE]
