Interesting read about Born Ready
Quote:Stephenson had spent two years studying Danny Granger, Paul George, and others who played ahead of him. They knew the defensive signals, the calls, when to shoot a gap, how to trail a shooter. This was all new for him. Cincinnati mostly stuck to zone defense. Its offense was unsophisticated. But in the NBA, you can't tell your coach you're in a zone and can't be pestered with plays.

Isn't Mick's defense nested in man-to-man and pressure?

I thnk it's amazing to win with a front line with totally useless offensive skills. Mick better start recruiting some players with skills inside or it's gonna bite him the the butt.
