Actually wasn’t Memphis the exact opposite of being based on defense last year? I thought it was an experiment in running more of a pro style type offense and less emphasis on d?
To the Tyler Harris note, there are a few clips on here from his games last year where he was absolutely all up in the guy who he was guardings business. I think if you push the defense with him, he will be fine.
Also, we’re longer at other positions this year. Having conditt,x and to a lesser extent a healthy solo to erase drives will help this year. Last year conditt was to green (let’s hope he matured in the offseason), and solo wasn’t 100%. You also have more length on the wing with Johnson, Dubar, and the other guys. Lewis and Griffey had the length to be those guys last year but didn’t have the wherewithal to know where they needed to be so they didn’t see the court. The only problem you may run into is if a team has a of and sg that is exceptional at backing opponents down AS WELL has the bigs and wings capable of making outside shots to pull conditt,x, or solo away from the hoop.
Ultimately Harris’s shortcomings are purely situational and I don’t think they’re near as detrimental as people paint them on here.
