We really need to play an active style defense
If Rose wants to go small, we need a defense that takes risks and entices opponents to take jump shots. Cummard and Plaisted give us some good athleticism, and their strength is playing defense on the move. We should never, ever play zone. We are too short to play zone and effectively cover the wings, we are also too short to have our guys standing around trying to outleap opponents for rebounds. No rebounds, no fastbreaks.
