    Expect the Breakers to trial-and-error some defensive schemes around 7-foot-6 centre Tacko Fall moving forward

    Expect the Breakers to trial-and-error some defensive schemes around 7-foot-6 centre Tacko Fall moving forward


    That's the view of former Breakers forward Casey Frank, with the NBL club losing their opening two games with Fall in their squad.

    The former NBA centre has been used in drop coverage to help him protect the rim, which leads to the opposition finding success with mid-range or three-point shots.

    Frank says the Breakers have found themselves in a defensive conundrum.
