Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 4065895, member: 874"] The thing is, we aren't even recruiting our "prototype." We don't have the long athletic forward and the tall athletic guards that are supposed to be our prototype. We have apparently decided to trade that for skilled players that lack athleticism. What I don't get is why it has to be either/or. Why can't we get athletes with skill anymore? Why can't we mix some long athletic guys with big physical guys? Why can't we have small athletic guards? I get that the 2010 and 2012 teams had the prototype guards and forwards, but AO wasn't covering the corner 3 in 2010 and 2009 was a 3 seed in the tournament with Johnny Flynn. Have we gotten to where we try to recruit too much to a type instead of just getting the best players we can and adjusting what we do to their abilities? Or is this the best we can now get and we are doing what we can with that? [/QUOTE]
