with all the switching....the bigs are out of position. ...plus most of the rebounds are from long jumpers. But as a coach with championship experience myself....i would call the same switching defense. ...because they have 5 shooters on the floor.

well it's tough with the switch because if the offense moves the ball properly you end up playing catchup and close out. wisconsin has some god shooters and they look very disciplined for the most part.

offensive rebound for towns and a second for towns.

Towns is active with his feet on pick and rolls....Towns is a defensive big with back to the basket offense in the post. But with his high fouks and quick yank, its hard to gage him. Towns is the highest risk....higbest reward pick.

Kaminsky looks like a solid mid round pick.....really no surprises from the 1st round guys. Guards on duke and Kentucky are underrated.

I don't really see an NBA post game from Towns yet. I see the potential for one, but he needs work. On the flip side, I wouldn't call OK4 defensive IQ terrible, just inconsistent. I'm not sure how any of the guards on Duke or Kentucky project as pros, with the exception of Booker.

His first shot tonight came 2 feet away where he sealed frank k in close, turned left and finished with a left hand semi hook. I thought "That's there all night." Never really established it for some reason...and not only tonight, all season. Cal's crazy--that would've been my bread and butter for the offense all year.
