In theory, this is the best way to prevent opponents from exploiting Krstic’s limited mobility. In these situations big men are required to slow down the ball handler and get back to the roll man without having to cover a great distance. Ivkovic also likes this set up because it allows his team to keep defensive rotations at a minimum. And that’s a good thing according to the Efes coach, whose defensive philosophy can be explained by his criticism of pick and roll-heavy offensive playbooks: […]
