Let's keep in mind that we're going up against Rick freaking Stansbury.

Exactly c on z.

What I noticed last year was that he played the high ball screen differently against us than any other team. He did not hedge hard on Stringer. Every other team did and that essentially blew up our offense every time cause Stringer could not handle it.

This allowed us better passing lanes, more open looks and generally gave us a chance.

Now Hickey handles this much better than Stringer but still if Stansbury plays it the same way against us this year I still think it helps.
