Who'll guard Luol?
No Dukie presents more matchup problems than Luol Deng.Taliek Brown and Ben Gordon are, needless to say, too small.
At 6-5, Rashad Anderson and Denham Brown are both a little undersized. Deng, you remember, is a healthy 6-8.
Emeka Okafor has the quickness to guard Deng. But you'd rather the big fella stay down low, blocking and changing shots.
Will Jim Calhoun bring Charlie Villanueva off the bench early to guard Deng? Will Villanueva be up to the challenge? Does he have the mobility to guard Deng behind the arc?
The alternative is to bring in Villanueva for Denham Brown and have Anderson guard Deng, thinking either Villanueva or Okafor will be able to help on Deng down low.
