Taggart and the 3 spot

Taggart Lockhart looks like another in a long line of tough 3's that Steve Shields like so well. In many other coaches' schemes, the small forward is primarily an offensive weapon. With Shields, he is expected to play tough defense, provide some rebounding, and do all the little, unnoticed things that make basketball teams win. In other words, more than any other position, the 3 has been with Shields the one that defines his blue-collar, hard-nosed teams.
