Speed on D

Hmmm...

I never really thought of "quickness" as mere acceleration. Isn't the concept supposed to include things like agility, read and react, and so on. It is simply all the good stuff that gets you to the ball that isn't raw in-line speed, no?

I suppose, you might separate "quickness" and "awareness", but I'm not clear on how you could measure these independently of each other. That is, it seems to me that the aware player and the quick player might only be separated by looking at their agility... just a thought.
