Duke had to end playing zone for the first time this year because they couldn't defend people with two bigs out there. So having size can have some downsides. I want to be hopeful that with Obi, Policelli and healthy Mikesell that there are the people to defend bigger 4s like a French from St. Louis. Even in the Archie era skilled stretch 4s like Tyler Cavanaugh, Peyton Aldridge, Wantanabe and TJ Cline at Richmond seemed to have field days against us. Ibi is the guy that to me is the most intriguing guy on the team defensively. With his height and athleticism he might be able to defend bigger guys especially if we use a small ball lineup. Going forward Taylor Funk for St. Joes, Hassan French at SLU, Sean Mobley at VCU seem like the type of 4s that have given defensive problems in the past

'member that that time Dayton or more specifically Dyshawn Pierre made a laughingstock out of Syracuse' vaunted zone?
