The other thing I found most interesting in Mr. Featherston's article was this quote from Harrison Barnes:
If Barnes tries to do this, I think it takes away his most potent weapon, his three-point shot. Also, Bullock will probably be thinking the same thing, since he's taller than Barnes and will either also be guarded by a 6'4 defender or often much shorter than that. And if everybody's inside, who are they going to kick out to? Duke can just pack it in and force Marshall to shoot over us. For that matter, even if Bullock stays outside, I'd rather have Barnes kicking out to Bullock and Marshall than shooting himself. This could be an added wrinkle in the game, but I'm not sure who it favors.
