re: How much improvement can Anderson get out of Rosburg and Post?

Any kind of improvement to Rosburg's footwork would make an amazing different. I laughed out loud when some guy literally slow dribble around him for a layup in the Southern Miss game.

I think you confuse footwork for lateral speed. Rosburg footwork is good on the offensive end. He can use the drop step effectively and he is good at turning, faking and stepping through/under. offensively, it doesn't require much athleticism for good footwork to be effective. Defensively, no matter how good you are, you need to be quick vs certain types. The USM players were much quicker than Rosburg.

A good coach isn't going to expect Rosburg to play 1v1 D on that kind of player on the perimeter. The D will be adjusted so Rosburg doesn't get put in that situation.

Rosburg has very finite limitations on his abilities but he can be a good role player for this team and effective on the offensive end.
