Not sure if we've seen a lot of Norm vs. Jimmy Buckets. Size-wise, I think Norm would be okay vs. Butler, but since the Bulls have nobody else on the roster of consequence, you should be able to game-plan to get the ball out of his hands and let the other guys beat you. Casey's a defensive coach, right?
Other than that; I do agree with everything else you said. I'd rather see either Ross or Powell starting at the three but Powell causes less disruption than moving Ross over there.
At the same time, Carroll hasn't necessarily been as bad as people have been making it. I do just think he's the weakest of our main wings (ironically he's physically the strongest of them I think)."My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr

But lack of IQ and poor defensive fundamentals seems to be a team-wide issue now with the Raps.

golden wrote: View PostWade is really crafty, so I would chalk that up to rookie inexperience, rather than a size/strength thing. Carroll has no excuse (including injuries) for what looks like poor defensive IQ, e.g., biting on pump fakes, gambling for steals, mistakes on switches, etc... Defense is his calling card.

My biggest concern coming into the season was the loss of Greer and it seems to be the cause of the defensive trouble."My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr

Canada's Wonderland should name its next roller coaster "The Howl of Powell". Drafted in the second round. Stars in summer league. Can't get playing time. Starts and stars in the Indy playoffs. Sits for Miami. Enters the season with optimism. Sits behind Ross. Ross gets traded...here come the minutes. Tucker arrives...there go the minutes. Kyle out.......
