I think at least in theory that most athletic 3's can guard a 6'10" perimeter player. If we assume that perimeter player is Mike Wang and he's on the court with Max and AJ he can be guarded by lots of athletic wings even in our league. The key is getting him open looks within the flow of the offense, not necessarily that a 6'5" kid can't guard him. Afterall, we had 6'4" Matt Howard guarding some legit power forwards in the past. He actually becomes more dangerous when a slower big is guarding him (and we have lots of those in our league) because he has unusually good ball handling and passing skills for a 6'10" Ivy player. He can put the ball on the floor and drive to the hoop better than the typical Ivy big. I think Steve will try to play a lot of guys tonight which is pretty usual at the beginning of the season. It will be interesting to see how he uses Mike in Ryan's absence. Will he log a lot of minutes as the 3rd big on the court. Not sure, but we'll know more tomorrow. |
