This season, no doubt. Jordan Clarkson is going to be very effective for that reason, and might carry this team farther than it otherwise would get because of that.
But I can't imagine they don't change the emphasis a little bit next year. There has been so much outcry, I think it's unavoidable.
Also, teams are going to back it inside in zones and dare teams to beat them from the perimeter.
Good ball movement, shooting ability, passing and movement without the ball/screening (skill stuff) is so important vs. a zone.
Not sure Haith is recruiting guys with that ability at the guard spots. I like Clark and JW3. Just nervous about the wings. Namon Wright is a great athlete who is very explosive, but he's more toolsy than skillsy.
