Nice and thanks for answering! I love playing with those type of fastbreak forwards, should be fun doing that with Julius Randle this year.

I hope they give him that cross-over badge

You can definitely do it but you won't outrun any faster players or guards.

Was anything noticeably different about on-ball defense or rebounding?

Also, do you think blocks and steal were triggered at the right times with the right players?

Boxing out feels like it can improve though

Just the fact that there are now long rebounds should change the way perimeter defense translates into transition offense. There's now a realistic risk to chucking threes.

Yes, players who are good defensively will play like it. It was a lot easier to create some space on Kyrie than on LeBron and you WILL need to create space to get shots to fall.

Great to know that there is a difference now. We can actually get out and run fastbreaks if we have speedy guards without getting caught.
