In his last presser, Pikiell said he still needs to show the full court pressure. What do you guys think would be the best lineup? I think we see a big dose of it during the next stretch of OCC games at home.....get the fans pumped.

Thiam on ball
Johnson
Sanders
Laurent
Sa as backend protector.
 
Not sure Thiam is ready for it yet. His play at the top of the zone leaves a lot to be desired....he will get coached up and learn I am sure. He has the attributes you need for it, but needs more coaching, imho.

Right now probably our best would be:

Sanders
Johnson
Laurent/Williams
Freeman/ Eugene O,
Sa

Thiam on ball would be ideal if he's ready for it. Having a 6-9 guard's wingspan trying to deny the entry pass with Sanders/Johnson chasing the guards around the back court would be great... with Laurent patrolling mid court and Sa protecting the outlet.

Agree, just not sure Issa reads the game as well as others at this point (I question Laurent with this also), Issa is still a little raw, imho. But down the road he can turn into a major luxury with his length.
 
if we are playing a 1-2-1-1

The back line needs an eraser...so Sa

the four guy needs to be a free safety...length is preferred..either Freeman or Laurent

Lead guy on the top should be someone with length who has quick hands Freeman or Laurent

Two best guard defenders with quickness

Thinking
Sanders/Williams/Laurent/Freeman/Sa

Not bad Shack...then, if you want a 2nd Press Unit you can plug in Johnson, Thiam, Eugene in 3 spots if a few guys get gassed.
