Riverdale
Offense runs through #1. He is ball dominant and his teammates stand around and watch him play offense.
#5 is their best player. He is the most aggressive player I've seen on film so far, and someone we have to account for at all times.
Not great against Zone
Not a great defensive team in the post
Not a great defensive team overall
Will gamble and trap the ball on screens, but leave people wide open
They do not box out well on defense.
Need to stop ball and keep them out of transition offense. Need to keep ball out of paint on D. They will get impatient and jack up 3s after a few seconds of set offense.
