[Winter]

Thanks I am interesting to see how it looks both on offense and defense.  In my mind, I picture a long defense that really makes scoring at the rim difficult, one that can cover a lot of space, play passing lanes and limit open threes and forcing teams to hit difficult twos.   On the other hand, I could see a defense that is not connected that allows a lot of blow by and creates open looks.    I think the team still needs to identify a point of attack defender.    It will be interesting to see how they gel over time.

Offense is real tricky for me.  I know everyone was injured and they had no time to develop chemistry, so I hope the offense looks different.   The AD isolation and long two twos were ugly though.   I hope we see a much different offense.   My hope is a fast pace and more movement on offense.   It is going to be a challenge though with their current team imo.

I think several people on the board have suggested strong 3-point shooters from our guards would help the balance offense... and I think it's the right approach. It's one of the reasons I would still like another guard with a good 3-pt shot and why trading Klay could be an issue if we traded him for defense.
