I saw almost the opposite. The defense was almost always converged inwards last year.I think this lineup has the talent to start developing a penetration game instead of working the weave for the first 20 seconds . Between Powell and Walker driving and even Dezi driving, it would force the defense to converge inwards leaving the outside 3's open for the shooters. Last year defenses came up to the 3 point line to guard us knowing that we had no inside presence. I would love to see Powell and Walker together.
Angel Delgado was the inside presence. He was doubled and the defense collapsed. The defense sagged daring Ish/Nzei and Madison to hit a jumper. The sagging defense also limited driving.
I think both KC and Walker pose more of a threat from 3 than Madison, which should cause the driving lanes and space for Angel to open up a little but defenders will still be able to sag off of Ish/Nzei barring a mid range game development from them.
