Flyer "D" is Terrible
We have no All-Americans on the rosters of our first 4 opponents. Yet UD's poor man to man defense created several All Americans. This team is slow footed and uninterested in playing competent half court man to man defense. They do much better in zone. UD also has shown very weak guards (other than DD) at both ends of the court. This team should focus on inside out offense. XW should not shoot treys until the ball goes inside first. Crosby and Crutcher need to work on their dribble penetration and dishing. They need to review the tape of Negele Knight's senior year and learn the drills he used to lead the Flyers on an NCAA run. DD is our best off the dribble at penetration and dish and last year he was a turnover machine off the dribble. UD must find their identity and I would ask this question. Are the Flyers stronger on the perimeter or inside with the bigs. I would argue for the latter. Get the bigs more involved in the offense with good passes from the guards and play zone, zone, zone.
