Great game guys. One of Hewitt’s biggest defensive strategies is key on the main offensive weapon. He’ll rotate guard after guard on key point guards or forward after forward on big men. It allows secondary scorers to pick up their scoring averages but it usually frustrates the hell outta main guys that typically only have one on one situations.
