Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4797806, member: 722"] Having Mintz and Starling will make it very hard to get stops against us in the half court. Very few teams are going to have two defenders capable of staying in front of both of them. Wherever the matchup is better, the pick and roll or even straight isolation is going to have to be double teamed, and it's going to be so hard to keep us from getting wide open threes for the forwards, or dump down passes to whomever is playing center. This team is going to be very hard to defend, starting at point. One of my niggling little fears about this team is the idea that coach Autry might feel the need to demonstrate how good of a coach he is and overcoach the team during games. There are going to be a ton of games this season where isolation or simple screen and drive plays with Mintz or Starling is going to be the right call. All game long. [/QUOTE]
