Uduka: The trend of the league is going back and forth now seems to be returning to the tall lineup

October 4th News Rockets coach Uduka said in an interview with the media this week that the league seems to be returning to the big guy lineup again.

Uduka said he believes that the league is now turning back to a tall roster, which is a trend he experienced early in his NBA coaching career. When he was at the Spurs, Uduka witnessed Duncan partner with Aldridge and Paul Gasol. When he was at the Sixers, he coached a lineup with both Embiid and Horford, while when he was at the Celtics, he allowed Horford and Rowe to form an inside partner.

"I am very familiar with this style of play. As long as the team's lineup and personnel configuration allow, this style of play can work and can also fight against the league trend to a certain extent." Uduka said, "Our height advantages and the comprehensiveness of Shin Kyung allow us to achieve a variety of tactics. But I think that more and more teams now have inside players who can partner with, and the league trend is always repeated. Now it seems that they are returning to the direction of a tall lineup."
