The havoc defence his teams are known for with upbeat offence sounds like it might be a good fit in Toronto. Just a wild and random stab in the dark, but wonder if that is the type of young coach Masai could be looking at.

I'm actually curious about testing that out though. Would need the right personnel for it though, which we don't have. Shaka's a guy I'd gamble on in a rebuild maybe.

Even at youth level it's not a terrible task to break a press, with some solid coaching.

LJ2 wrote: View PostYeah, I can't say much about the system as I'm not familiar with it. It sounds like it requires full effort of defence at all times which is sort of how the Spurs and Celtics play. I think Masai is going to be taking a good look at some of these young coaches in college. Guys that come up with their own systems as opposed to adopting what other teams are doing.
Shaka Smart isn’t likely to ever leave the college level because his entire system only works at that level (or lower) of competition.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

Smart’s system works at lower levels but would completely be destroyed at the NBA level where the ball handling, passing and athleticism of players would make it look comically bad.
