Princeton offense only as good as the players

There will be times when no player starts an offensive possession below the foul line, which has a tendency to make the basket area difficult to cover.

"I'm not going to have to force which is a good thing," Iguodala said.

Jordan and Stefanski both said they would like Miller back, but also said they are not sure a point guard is terribly significant in the offense. Those "interchangeable parts" again.

A semicomparison to the great Bulls teams (who was the point guard?) was silly. Don't see Michael Jordan or Scottie Pippen on this roster.

So, what is on this roster? Watch the Lakers and Magic in the Finals and you will see skilled players all over the court. Do the Sixers have many of those kinds of players, enough of those kinds of players?

"I think Iguodala, Young and Brand right off the bat [will be better in this system]," Stefanski said.

Better spacing, it is hoped, will keep double teams away from Brand or make them less effective.

These Sixers will be required to read the defense. The defensive pressure dictates the offensive option. Will they choose the right option? And, if they do, will they have the required skill to take advantage?

Remember what Carril said about his offense. In the end, it is about the players. And they better be real good. *
