Paul Silas to install zone defense

Charlotte Bobcats coach Paul Silas plans to install a zone defense next season, in part to allow him to play guards D.J. Augustin and Kemba Walker in the same backcourt.

Silas can’t talk specifically about players during the NBA lockout. But there’s no doubt who he meant when he said Thursday, “I’m going to have two little guys out there who I really think can hopefully play together. But it’s going to be hard for either of them to guard a 2-guard.

“But they could play in a zone…out-front.”

Good I am a big fan of zone

It can work. I would only do it when Kemba and DJ are in there or we have a small lineup. The way to beat a zone is to get it in the middle/high post to make it collapse. Also 3 point shooters will pull you out of a zone.

But really the one thing I hate about zones is boxing out. It will come down to being able to mark your man on rebounds. Zones always seem to give up more rebounds because people tend to get lazy.

This is all true and having Bismack in the zone for boards and blocks will help a ton.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
