Someone questioned Baulkman playing the 3 and Richardson the 2. The way I see it is that Richardson would be much more effective in the transition to defense playing the two while Baulkman could play the three until Hubbs gets back into the groove after the layoff. At 6'5" he would not likely play the four or five where Moore and Reese will switch.

It was me,I'm not sure baulkman has ever played the 3 I've researched and found nothing and most 3's are taller than 6 foot five inches

Transition defense is just about getting back and picking up a man. I would say their role in the press would have more bearing than their transition defense. But Hubbs makes this whole point moot anyway. Imo

Also there is almost no difference between a 2 and a 3 .

Other than height. And some sf do post and rebound. And I think in the case of not having a true center and having small PF we will need that pos to do that. Baulkman hasnt been workng out with the bigs but armani has.

Honestly I think we get too hung up on "positions" The starting lineup is about the only time guys have "true positions" They'll be times where we go 4 guards and Josh will be technically be the 4. Guys rarely play one position the whole game, the PG will slide to the 2 , with the backup PG playing with him. The 2 will play the 3, as mentioned with Josh the 3 will play the 4 some. The 4 will play the 5 in certain lineups. The only position that generally stays at the same position is the 5 really. And in certain situations the starting 5 will play the 4 with the backup playing with him if we go big. It's about matchups and what is working at the time. I suspect we will see a lot of different combinations especially early on, with almost everyone playing multiple positions.

In the words of Jalen Rose, "positions were given names so novices could understand the game better."

Exactly. If CDT's system continues to equate to rebounds, we may see times where McGee or Carmichael are our biggest player on the court. So theoretically even the 5,could defend a lot of other positions.

Really don't understand the obsession with a huge bulky center. That is not the current trend. As was once said, in Tyndall's offense that is just someone on the court who has to be able to get out of the way for the others. That means lean and mean!

Josh Richardson's team won the coveted RTL championship.

That's not surprising. For all the people that say that there is little defense played in the RTL (and they are right), I bet Josh still plays plenty enough defense and that is what ultimately led to his team winning.

Love guys like that. I'll miss the heck out of JRich when he's gone.
