"We're trying to play very, very fast." That's music to my ears and marks a return to White's roots at La Tech. He never played at the tempo I saw at La Tech when he was at UF. To play fast, you have to use pressure defense to create TOs and easy offensive chances. You also have to use your depth to stay fresh. You also have to rebound well to get out on the break. And you can't turn the ball over excessively, which results in fewer possessions and empty possessions. Despite our defensive problems, shooting issues, rebounding nightmares and lack of depth last year, we still played at the 3rd fastest tempo in the SEC. If we can improve those areas, even incrementally, we should be able to play faster. I see no reason why Tchewa and Deloach won't help on the glass; we are deeper and more experienced; we should be able to extend our defense and create TOs; and shooting just has to be better than it was. It would be hard to shoot worse than last year. Hill doesn't it over much, and we hear great things about Demary. The experience we brought in through the portal should help cut down TOs. All in all, the recipe is there for faster play.

Tried to tell you about Demary Jr and Cain
Nothing in your statement here addresses anything in my OP. Maybe stick to the topic or start your own thread. And I tried to tell you that any way you slice it we only have 4 guards. I never disparaged Demary or Cain. Not once. I have lauded their abilities. But they are young and inexperienced. That is undeniable. They will play. They have to play; we only have 4 guards. Hill is experienced, but he is also limited in his abilities. Whether Demary can supplant him in the starting line-up has not been established. White has been quoted saying that he is trying different combinations. White doesn't even know who's starting. Unless Demary proves he is head and shoulders better than Hill, White will likely go with experience and the steady hand. White also stated he was concerned about the TOs in our secret scrimmage with NC St. What does that say?BigDawgsGoRoof said:

That you can be wrong!!
You have argued and argued over and over with me over nonsense, and you haven't said anything worthwhile, much less proven a point. You certainly haven't proven I have been wrong about anything. I am expressing an opinion. There is no right and wrong. It's an opinion. And believe me, I know enough about basketball to make an informed opinion. I know what my background and qualifications are. You are a name on a message board about whom no one on this board has any reason to give any credence to. You are free to disagree with my opinion, but don't think for one second you have proven anyone wrong.BigDawgsGoRoof said:

Exactly that's all what they are opinions you got yours and so do I!! But you are just a name as well and I have a very extensive background and knowledge as well! But hey I've never argued with you, just stating my opinion!!
Again, nothing worthwhile. A waste of space....BigDawgsGoRoof said:
