Message: [QUOTE="OlsenRyan13, post: 1389346, member: 5234"] I feel as though Gilbert would have no problem sliding into the zone. A 2-3 zone is meant to be a defense that works as a unit rather than the every man for himself style of man-to-man. If Gilbert is a better defender when he is out pressuring the perimeter, then why not let him do that and have the other guys in the zone adjust accordingly? I know that JB likes to recruit length for his zone, but I don't ever think that should get in the way of picking up a solid player because he's too short. Especially considering that the ACC is much more of a 3-pt shooting conference than the old big east was, it might even be better to have player like Gilbert who can get out on the ball quick. Sometimes I feel like that's the biggest mistake JB makes- he should let the zone cater to his recruits, not them cater to it. [/QUOTE]
