1. Offense and defense lineups have almost nothing in common outside of beating the press, ball handling and transition.  If you can do that playing zone, then you could have five 6'7- 7'2 guys on the floor who can all switch positions on offense. Maybe even a 6'10 guy up top on D, who spends all his time in the low post on offense.

2.I really really want to see Guerrier play up top on Defense. Hes only a inch taller then Hughes. I think he would be slightly better then Hughes. Guerrier and Dolezaj on the same side would feel a entire foot longer than Hughes or Buddy on Dolezaj's side. Plus, we need those steals. Guerrier is also the best guy to finish through contact in transition, which gives us some physicality.

3.Rebounding - Hughes, Buddy, Guerrier, Dolezaj, Sidibe sounds good, but I am really worried we need the 3rd perimeter scorer to score inside. Our best interior play is Hughes to the basket. We lose that without a 3rd perimeter scorer. Maybe Hughes could run a give and go high screen for Dolezaj up top. If Dolezaj starts popping that free throw jumper off 1-2 bounces, Hughes can pop the step back from 15; while Sidibe and Guerrier get a chance to pound the offensive boards as a duo.

Girard and buddy are going to need to rest a bit come acc play. So we got to figure something out. With the long breaks, its tough to know if we already have.
