I honestly think we could be a good mtm team or at least a good multi defense team. Buddy is the primary weakness in my opinion. Joe I think would be ok. He has good instincts and is strong enough. The extended line hurts but what hurts more is most teams are able to put multiple shooters on the floor and are able to take advantage of the corners and the top of the key. It is a shooters game more than anything today. The zone doesn't not prevent a shooter from getting set, especially with having to stretch the defense further. So in turn we chase. Instead of a rotation it turns into a mad scramble to cover the open areas of the zone. Shot fakes, good shooters and quick feet are hurting us.

To stay within a pattern of trying to not disrespect the zone, I just think we have the pieces to play some good mtm D. Quincy could be a really valuable and versatile defender. In the zone he is often in unnatural positions. In mtm his rebounding could be much better. Same with Sidibe and how well he finds the ball even while out of position.
