I recall watching Christian Laettner school Shag when they payed against each other, Duke v LSU. obviously, Shaq was a physical specimen and became an all-time great. But when LSU came to Durham, laettnet would step outside to hit jumper after jumper. When Shaq was forced to follow Laettner outside to try and slow down the jumpers, Laettner would drive right around him to the basket. No matter which poison Shaq chose, LAettner would make him pay.
My question has to do with the impending matchups, big man Zach Edey (7'4") versus D J Burns Jr., (6'9"). Does D J have enough of an outside game to draw Edey outside? To me, that is a key to the game in that it unclogs the middle, a behemoth giant would be forced to do something he may not want to do, and/or be good at it. What do you think?
