Message: [QUOTE="cuse522, post: 1730529, member: 1149"] We basically have a choice to make, since we're not a blue blood. We can go for high level (cut below true elite most of the time) talent that fits into the 2-3 zone, or we can go after guys who have a fatal flaw that keeps them out of the NBA (often height, which hurts in the 2-3 unless they're lanky as hell), or we can go after less talented players that are 4-year players, but will be good program guys. Boeheim has made the choice to go after the first group - high level talent that fits his system. It's hard to argue with him on it, IMO. Wright has decided to go after program guys and fatal flaw guys and gets them to buy in fully to playing good team ball. It's impossible to argue with him, obviously. The thing is, to be as successful as Boeheim has been with the zone, he just has to have that length and athleticism. [/QUOTE]
