Holman has been our best player and certainly most improved, but he is still a little soft inside against guys stronger than him. We have to be able to play him and Ado at the same time.

This is wrong. Dont equate good post defense with offensive moves. Other guys cant guard Holman inside because of his quickness and moves. We have the advantage inside with Holman at the 5. He cant be guarded

I'll give you an example. Cameron Burns was 6'6 and played H2H with Shaq at LSU. Burns struggled dealing with Shaq on defense because Oneal is a freak of nature. But Shaq couldnt guard Cameron Burns because he was 6'6 and would wear it out on him from the elbow- then when Shaq came out to get him? Burns drove past him to the hoop. Thats why State beat LSU damn near every time when Shaq was at LSU.
