not really.
I just think the players you mentioned get doubled teamed because most teams figure out quickly that the offense runs through those players. The thought is...let someone else beat us, not the star. That's a philosophy that is not applicable against our team. We don't have a particular star(s) that a team can focus on to neutralize, they really have to stop all of the starters for our offense to stall. Our four offensive weapons in our starting lineup could easily be featured on offense on another type of team. That's why I don't buy your conclusion that we don't have anyone one in our starting lineup that is double team worthy.
