How Byron Scott's system will succeed with the Cavaliers

Just a few months ago, Coach Scott decided to join the Cleveland Cavaliers as head coach, just days before LeBron James made his "Decision" on ESPN. With or without LeBron James, Coach Scott knew one thing. He knew that he would bring his system and style to whoever was on the roster, at this time of the year.

The "Princeton" is a system in which Coach Scott is going to bring to the Cavaliers. It's a system that focuses on tough defense and a fast-paced offense. An offense that will look to run and create more possessions for the young athletic team. A system that requires each and every player to be in fantastic shape as running will be key.

The Princeton also focuses on ball movement as well as player movement in the half-court offense sets.  In my eyes, this is key for the success of the Cavaliers this season. The ball will be consistently moving around and will create better quality shots. This, a vast improvement over last season's one man show (LeBron James.) Instead of watching James pound the ball in one spot for 22 seconds and then pass the ball off to a standing teammate, the ball will always be on the move. The Princeton is the style of offense the Cavaliers should have been playing for the past 3 seasons.

The new system will be very effective for this team, if the system can be properly executed. The Cavaliers have the players and coaches to have a fantastic season on the offensive as well as the defensive side of the ball.

The Cavaliers have a roster full of young athletic talent. Mo Williams leads the way, as the team will look for him to be a leader. A fast paced system will help him get open looks, as well as creating for others in the open court. Other guards such as Ramon Sessions and Boobie will also flourish under the Princeton.  The fast pace will create more opportunities for these players to find each other and get good shots on each possession.

The two players that I believe will benefit the most under Coach Scott will be Antawn Jamison and JJ Hickson. Jamison played under Eddie Jordan in which Jordan ran a similiar system. A run and gun system in which Jamison average 20 and 10 that season. At the age of 34, Jamison still has enough legs underneath him to possiblly post 20 and 10 numbers again, or maybe even better.

JJ Hickson is another young athletic player who will put up huge numbers under Scott. A player that showed he has all the potential last season will look to take his game to the next level with Coach Scott running the show. A strong finisher at the rim and very athletic, JJ could be considered a poor man's Amare Stoudemire by the end of the season.  A lot of experts predict Hickson to have a breakout season and his domination in the Summer league is solid evidence that just may be the case.

Byron Scott has all the young athleticism he could ask for. Now it is time to use his motion offense and employ the talent he has to help lead the Cavaliers to the playoffs. A system that I believe will succeed in Northern Ohio.  Good things are on the horizon.

All for One. One for All.

Keep your heads up Cleveland
