I feel like our 4-1 zone is being overlooked on this board.
Maybe the single greatest defensive innovation of the K era. It is genius. Forces them to shoot the midrange. Carter is a stud at the rim and the 3s are heavily contested.
Can Self make Carter guard three guys like Boeheim did? Or does personnel become an issue, given that Kansas is perimeter-oriented and Syracuse was big?
3-2 will be good as long as one of the three up top realizes he needs to drop down and block cutters when the ball goes into the corner. That’s been available in the few times Duke has run the 3-2.
