That's by design (and we do a great job of it) and no a packline does not rely on strong hedging (at least not on high ball screens, orPnR) plus we're not playing much packline this year, or better said, it's been extended. I know the announcers haven't told you guys that yet, but you can simply watch the defense and see how far it's extended at at the wings at times and see we are playing as much straight man this year, especially against spaced offenses..
The defense against MD was compact in the 1st half, more extended in the 2nd, and bad in both .
