Who do you think Iowa should put on Royce White?
I will admit I have only seen one full ISU game this year when they played Michigan last Saturday on the BTN.
From watching ISU play Michigan it looks like White will bring the ball up the court at times and they like to get the ball in his hands around the free throw line extended and let him dribble drive to draw defenders. He seems to get around slower footed defenders pretty easily (he goes right best, and when he wants to go left he sets up his defender by going to his right first) and if someone comes to help he is a very good unselfish passer.
I was most impressed with how well he passed, how under control he plays and how well he passed.
I don’t know if Basabe moves well enough laterally to defend White and I would have for Mel to pick up stupid reach in fouls far from the hoop. Mel tends to want to reach even after moving his feet well and appearing to be in good position.
Who do you think is best to match up with White in the ½ court?
