We played man defense all season and I think it was well worth the effort. Little can be learned by young players who sit in a zone and never learn how to play man-to-man. But check this out: Even pros like Jordan Farmar play ridiculously weak defense away from the ball.
Don't you guys think even 14-year-olds can play better defense than him? Farmer is in red, wearing #2. He totally leaves his man on the right wing, never even considers getting good position between his man, the basket and the ball. He just walks to the ball like they're playing H-O-R-S-E, then leaves his man wide, wide open. His man hits a 3 to give the Knicks a 4-point lead with 35 seconds left.
NOT SMART.
