Screw it. Go small. Five guard lineup

Gotta rebound to play fast. If you can’t rebound, it doesn’t matter if you have 5 Allen Iverson’s on the court; you can’t play fast.

You can pull it off if you have shooters though.. We could go small but we wouldnt make any 3s

Nah, really screw it all!!

SIX guard lineup!!!

Red can be on the floor constantly like Rick the Quick or Buzz Williams!!

Just think of the possibilities!!

Bell and Taylor aren't guards. Honestly Taylor is basically a bit of an undersized stretch 4.

 

[tbonezone]

be a tip drill for any team with size

You have to have the ball or the other team won't care what you are doing.

I thought a 'stretch 4' was a 4 who can play the 5 in a pinch, line Brown. Wouldn't a 3 who can play the 4 be a 'stretch 3'?

A stretch 4 is a power forward who can shoot, pass, and dribble from the perimeter against other 4's.

I had it wrong all these years. He stretches the defense, not himself to play like a taller player. Thanks.

Please ignore all of the references I made to a "stretch 4" in the past.

Got to be ahead to run something like that.

Think DC, and played center his junior year.

Nah. Think Tyler Lydon.

Played 4 & 5 for us, and also shot over 40% from 3.

That’s what a “stretch 4” is all about.

Just curious, what did you think a stretch five could do?

I know a guy that used that term to describe his manhood to the ladies.

Clever reference to the five hole?

Clever? Me? No.

 

[CuseFan]

Have to admit that I'm quite excited to see the team go back to playing fast, and playing man to man again. The last several seasons have been a boring slow and somewhat ineffective offense

Not sure.
