Regarding number 3, the development comes with PT, which is both a feature and a bug in Roy's system.Roy's weird. I don't know that I'd think of him as a good strategist. To me, Roy's strengths are:
1) Recruiting to his system
2) Teaching his system well
3) Player development (particularly in the post)
4) Recruiting
Recruiting has slipped off a little bit, but because of #1-#3 he can plug and play some lesser players and have it work. But of course, like Tony Bennett, having a great system comes with its own drawbacks. There's a certain inflexibility. K has shown that he'll make major changes in the middle of a game. Roy has too, but those changes are just randomly substituting out good players for bad ones.
His players develop because he plays them. So his teams suffer through some astonishingly bad substitution patterns that end up being worth it for the development of people like Luke Maye.
Think how many minutes Vrank would get at UNC.
