I could pull up more examples but I dont have time to research. Those 3 teams all were probably going dancing. It's a new game, the slow big back to the basket guys are fading. You have to be skilled as a big or those long shorter guys will destroy you. We lost to alot of these type teams the past few years.
I still want to get one more skilled big and another ball handler and we may look pretty good next year.
