Defensive Philosophy

[mufan2003]

Interesting article on the defensive strategy under Kidd. Writer suggests that the Bucks' defensive struggles under Kidd might have been due to the strategy, not the players. It will be interesting to see if this is the case as more games are played under Prunty. My understanding was that Sean Sweeney implemented the defensive scheme, Prunty may have decided to change it.

They have enough length and athleticism to be disruptive without blitzing everything. If they could just find a bit of bulk at the 5 this could be an excellent defensive team.
