That comment on our center was just one reason and it makes sense especially together with his comments about expending energy on defense and getting back down the court since the center is the anchor and needs to get back first. But don't focus too much on the center comment. The entire response is more of a general assessment of our team's ineffectiveness running. So just like our center, if our team has trouble getting up and down the court (and I take that verbatim as overall team speed in the open court), it is about getting by guys on a fast break while also getting back on d. That would tax a team that lacks speed especially against quicker teams. In the rare times we do run, we haven't converted well. It is simply not a strength. Then, couple that with our focus on rebounding and we are all at the basket since our guards help rebound.

Now, he didn't say whether we do or don't intend to run more. But I believe it is a decision not to since he also said something about how this team is about size and rebounding. I think he is trying to maximize our strengths and limit liabilty? I dunno.

I think you'd need a more specific question if you want to know about individual players abilities or what JB had specifically instructed his team to do off of defensive rebounds/inbounds.
