pressure the ball (we know he can do this), taking 7-10 seconds off the clock. Anything else we get from him is a bonus, and he showed us last year (once RA was out of the way) that he can score as well. Again, there is probably nothing more important to being a great defensive team, than making your opponent HAVE to play half court ball, with a 15 second shot clock.

No doubt in my mind we win it all last year with AB going the distance.

I agree. I hope his shoulders heal up well.

And he has to keep the defense honest.  Wheter it's cuts to the hoop, or sticking the occasional jumper.
