We've been through Billy Knight's dream of an all-6'7"-6'10" team. We know what it looks like. Does Pape Sy's signing signal a return to that approach?
Consider:
>It was BK's stated objective to field a loooooong team on defense that was full of good jump shooters on offense.
>Drew has announced an offense that is strikingly like our ORIGINAL offense, when Woodson first took the reins.
If we intended for Sy to play the 3 or even as a swingman, I'd assume a more traditional approach. But with him at PG, we fit BK's ideal at every position.
Another question: what if he CAN play PG? Will we be pressing on defense and turning the resulting turnovers into fast breaks?
