A lot of people are negative about AW3 playing the 2 spot.  If Battle can handle the ball as well as Roberts is saying, having those two at the top of the zone would be very interesting if it works.   I think AW3 will have chances to play the 2.  But if he can't play defense at the 2 then I imagine his PT at that position will be limited if not at all.

Also, a lot of people are negative about Lydon playing center.  I thought he did a terrific job last season against most teams.  At times he did not match up well.  But for the most part, if a lineup having Lydon at center works really well on defense and offense I just can't imagine JB not using it as part of the rotations.

I am really looking forward to how well this team can press.  If you press, combine that with the shorter shot clock, and the size of our forwards, that's really going to put pressure on opposing team's offenses.  We should be able to force bad shots and shot clock violations.

Rebounding will always be key to Orange success.  It seemed last year the team got better at tipping the ball to other players to rebound as the season went on.  I think Roberson's rebounding is going to be a huge part of this season's team's success.   This year's team is going to be very exciting.  So many good players to watch!  I'm really looking forward to this year's team.
