    That’s interesting. I thought the zone we’ve run so far is interesting, but curious how Vando would benefit specifically. 

    We’ve had AD at the top of the zone a few times and Vando would be great to secure rebounds in those sets. Rebounding is already not exactly a strength so zone is definitely a curveball or slider for us and not a fastball, but i love that JJ has so many sets installed already.

    Zones in the NBA really work best with at least one, preferably two, players that can cover a lot of ground, really fast. Vando and AD are our two defenders that are really good at that.

    Either way, wild that JJ has yet to coach a regular season game and is already SO much further ahead at implementing our scheme than Scam was last year

    We might finally have a coach y’all.

    Never really cared much for the lip service… show us. One on hand it’s good to see a coach who is forward thinking about different basketball concepts but at the same time he’s talking about gimmicky zone schemes in the NBA lol. Might be effective for a few possessions or couple of minutes tops
