Enemy Lines

an opposing coach's view

'They have depth, size and experience. The I only question is whether they'll get consistent play from TALIEK BROWN. He's great in the transition, but he can struggle in a half-court game....

You can't zone them like you used to because guard RASHAD ANDERSON, DENHAM BROWN and BEN GORDON can all shoot....

Gordon is a streaky shooter—he can bury five in a row very quickly—but when he's not in good rhythm, he'll stop guarding people....

Anderson is a great spot-up shooter, but he's expanded his game and can beat you on the dribble, too....

Freshman CHARLIE VILLANUEVA is physically mature beyond his years. He has a power forward's body and a small forward's skills.'
