It's going to be more noticeable when someone gets beat when playing straight man to man. Most teams don't play man to man all game but for some reason we did

Similar to how people said we gave up layups for free all season. But we are 7th in the country in 2 point % defense. So we weren't giving up that many free layups. |

Again, I'm fine with others disagreeing, I just don't think his defense was anything special. I'd be curious what others feel he has done incredibly well on D to earn DPOY....btw, thought his 2nd half of the season was incredible overall even so much to possibly earn POY. Just not as much on the defensive side. |

I think the defense overall has been really odd. In stretches it’s phenomenal. It’s other stretches it’s horrible. The defense is usually great when are struggling offensively. But when we are clicking offensively, it “Feels” like the defense is terrible and can’t get a stop. And I think that’s why we haven’t been able to comfortably win many games in the 2nd half of league play. It’s hard to explain. But we rarely click on both sides of the ball. That is... unless we’re down 14 with 8 min to go, then we’re great. But then we get a lead and then we forget how to play defense again. |

Don’t get bent out of shape. It wasn’t trying to prove you wrong. Just wanted to provide some context to what you thought was happening |

Problem is we don't draw as many charges as Jarron commits. Sometimes you just have to stand your ground knowing you're going to get splattered all over the floor (especially our smaller guards). They have a tendency to clear out of the paint to preclude getting posterized. It's like going to the hardwood for a 50/50. It may not feel good, but the only way you have a chance is being on the floor. Anybody have any stats on how many charges we've drawn this season? Would be an interesting comparison vs the other teams. Also, how many charges Jarron has been called for (committed)?

15 ppg, 12.5 rpg, 2.3 assists pg, 1 block pg, 1.4 steals pg That's about as good as it gets right there...what a turnaround! I am very happy for him...he may be the most likable player on the roster. Very good leader and role model as well. |
