I don’t think Reynard is the answer to a solid line up at all.
Haase has never believed in screens for shooters.  A mystery but certainly the answer to our average or less three point shooting. 
Great play by Angel  Must be the Torrey Pines background :)

When teams switch on screens - which is now becoming almost universal - the notion that you can get shooters open just with screens is antiquated.  Does it still happen?  Sure, on occasion.  Should Stanford screen more than it does to try and free up a shooter?  I'd say yes (mainly because I think "mixing up offensive looks" is a good thing).  But I also believe that a drive and kick is far more likely to lead to an open outside shot than is some guy running along the baseline rubbing off screens.  Even Dartmouth, last night, got most of its open trey looks from drive and kicks (notable exception was baseline inbounds under the hoop play where guard rubbed off multiple screens on way to corner for a monstrous corner trey - that was one helluva play and clutch shot, and the defender closed reasonably well on it, but the rubs freed him up just enough).  At least that's my recollection.

During the first part of our 2nd half comeback, the 5 on the court were MOC, JD, Keefe, Taitz and Angel.  When MOC got his fourth foul HI returned and helped finish out the comeback.  In overtime we pulled Keefe out to the top of the key and Angel posted his guy up inside and they had no answer for that.  Surprised we didn't do that early on; maybe we did and it just didn't work.  Taitz and Angel got a lot of playing time during critical parts of the game and that will stand them in good stead later on in the season I am sure.
