Cousins, Orton, Patterson, and Stevenson are much more collectively athletic along the baseline than Chism, Williams, and Hall. To match them athletically, Tennessee has to play Smith or Price at the 4, putting them at a huge strength disadvantage.No doubt..
Hey Hat, I got one question.. Other than the pg position, don't we pretty much have the same type of athletic ability as UK? I mean, at what other position is UK THAT much more athletic than UT to predict that they are for sure going to win the east?

Perry Stevenson is a much better leaper than Tyler Smith. Cousins' athleticism dwarfs Wayne's.I see what you're saying about the strength advantage, but is Cousins and Patterson that much more athletic than Chism and Hall?.. Orton prob has the advantage on Williams athletically, but enough to where it is noticeable?.. I'm sure Smith and Prince can match Stevenson's strength and both have the athletic advantage
That was one of the moments last year that defined the team for me: Wayne reaching down to pick up his headband instead of fighting for a rebound in a tight game with Belmont. Now that's championship level focus.
