Better on the ball defenders up top, I think Gbinije and Patterson have potential there. We lacked that this year, but had it alot in recent years. We are one of the least physical teams defensively in the country on the perimeter. Although we have guards who are built for the physical nature of the game quite often.

Make teams force a longer pass from the perimeter sometimes and they will turn it over more, and force shots. And give them less time to try to get used to the zone early on, by making them worry about the pressure D up top at the same time. Guys like MCW's and Dion usually would pressure later in games, instead of taking the opportunity to smell blood early on. We haven't had 2 real good on the ball pressure defenders in the game at the same time in a long long time.

I still prefer to win games on the offensive end though, we will never build our team around pressure defenders who can't score first. That's not what JB's teams or the 2-3 is built for.
