Keep it simple at first, add on as the season gets going.

It will be a transition for the players, but they know the basic concepts already. It will be adjustments and it seems the players will have a little more freedom. Probably a little sloppy early in the year, but we should end up being a good to very good team.

The staff studying film from last year is nothing new, but we have fresh unbiased eyes looking this time. I'm interested in Woodson's NBA experience being helpful correcting several issues including being weak with the ball.

Think we will see different starting lineups early on. New system along with new faces will take awhile to get comfortable with one another. Will be interesting to see if offense is solely 1 in 4 out or look for match-up possibilities to exploit. Wouldn't be surprised to see a little of everything to see what sticks......except the pack line, won't see that

Everything I read about Woody in the NBA was that he was an innovator, and good at adapting and drawing up new stuff as necessary. I don’t think he’ll be glued to a “method”.
