If you sag back he'll easily blow bye you. You don't sag off great drivers. You use help side d but Simmons is smart enough to make plays even if that happens


utter nonsense. You play tight on good outside shooters and sag off bad ones. When you sag, you make it easier to defend penetration. Basketball 101.

Box and 1 in college basketball

They might play limited to no help on Simmons, but even that would be stupid, because he's not an outside shooter.

So much of his game is getting it and going in transition, it's pretty much impossible to keep the ball out of Simmons' hands for an extended period of time. Because a lot of the times he'll be the one brining it up the court.

Plus, if a team really did try to no-help deny him the basketball, he's bigger and more athletic than people so his teammates can still throw the ball up to him and he'll go get it.

While these Rant coaches laugh... Alabama gave LSU their first SEC loss in 2006 by going box and 1 on D Mitch in Tuscaloosa.

If I'm Kentucky, I just sag toward the basket. Hornsby is not going to beat Kentucky by himself from three-point land.

Really, John Wooden kept it simple decades ago when asked how he'd defend Pete Maravich. He said, "We'll try to hold him to his average and not let the others score much."


Maravich also played with a bunch of scrubs for the most part. I mean even absolutely dominating the game for 3 seasons, they never made it to the tourney. They had a losing record in the SEC his soph and jun. seasons.

Best way to guard LSU is when Simmons has the ball every goes help side except for Horsbys man. And the on ball defender for Simmons needs to sag off a little. I'd go under every ball screen set for him as well.

Box and 1 on a shooter is completely different tho

Especially if he's the only shooter on the team.

You can't box and 1 a 6'10 point forward with Simmons passing ability

He'd go nuts
