Demarcus Riddick comments resurfaced
“You should expect to see a big, strong deep roster that has a lot of skilled and unselfish players that are willing to put the team in front of themselves,” he said. “Foundationally, we always strive to be elite in three years: Defensively, rebounding, and taking care of the basketball. If we’re able to do that, it will raise our floor and give us a great chance to be really successful and eliminate any unnecessary volatility we might have.
“Offensively we’re going to play fast, but not in a hurry. We’re going to try to push in transition, score early in the clock, hunt rim twos, catch and shoot threes. If we don’t score in transition, we’re going to slow it down and make you guard us in the half court and make you guard continuous player and ball movement, unique ball screen actions, and different things that I think are incredibly difficult to scout.
“Then when people ask, what are you going to see on the defensive side of the ball? Really, we’re going to try to keep teams from doing those things. We’re going to try to keep them out of transition, make them run offense in the half court, make them take tough twos overhand and have an incredibly gritty style to us defensively where teams won’t want to face us.”
