King1 - don't be such a lemming. Nobody has seen Eddy and Zach together on defense.

Honestly with this line-up(Curry and Zach) I would look to physically dominate teams. I would use our one key strength to our advantage. I would go Lee at the SF, Q at the 2 and Marbs at the 1. That line-up could simply outpower other line-ups. Would it have weaknesses too? Of course, just like every other line-up we throw on the floor. For my money it at least allows me to possibly dictate how the game is played.

I dont beef on Zach's D. Yes it sucks, but he's a monster on the glass, and thats part of D IMO. Thats defending something. Its bad when you let a guy you guard shoot 60%. Its worse when you let him crash the boards also.

That is the difference between Zach and Eddy.

Passing and Free Throw shooting are also noticeable big differences in their game although these are offensive categories.

Curry's offense IMO has become much more irrelevant with Zach here. Nothing he does on offense will mean anything to me. I'm only concerned with what he can provide defensively. It would be very beneficial for Zach to step his defensive too. We should run our offense through Zach. It'll be interesting to see how the touches break down with this power offense. The power offense is going to lead to a slower tempo where on offense the team uses the majority of the shot clock. There aren't going to be too many opportunities for backcourt and wing players to get enough touches to get into any kind of rhythm, therefore defense becomes even more important. Realistically Curry and Zach are going to need at a minimum 12fga/gm a piece, probably closer to 15fga/gm. This team is going to have to look to score in transition whenever they can and try and create as many turnovers as possible. In reality this team needs serviceable offensive players who play lock down defense around EDOLPH.
