23-24’ Huskies roster breakdown by Borges

That and fouling guards/wings. I’m sure the staff is working on him playing hands up D against them not swinging at everything. He can still fingertip block stuff and alter shots without swatting at them. Once that arm is in motion, easy for a player to move into the path. We didn’t care if he picked up fouls last year. Different now.

Confused - HH are you talking about HD here or DC? As I recall, HD's defense was fairly spot on and consistent.
Pretty sure Diesel was commenting on HD's foul shooting and your reply was centered on DC?

Will be curious to see who "surprises" us the most this year out of Singare/Stewart/Ross.. I'll take a contrarian view with Singare.. Stewart and Ross will be solid in their minutes.

I'm talking about DC. Thought he was talking about Donovan's foul shooting. Neither is good at it I guess.

I would have agreed a month ago, but Newton and Spencer give him a much bigger freshman handicap than before.

Yeah, but I still think he's the difference between being good and being really good.

Some may say diarra. Aside from scoring he played solid pg minutes. A poor man’s taliek. And from The City of course.

I think Diarra plays a bigger role then expected, but doesn't make or break our success. However, I do believe our success this year is very contingent on Samson's ability to back up the 5 and give us meaningful minutes as our primary backup big. Obviously doesn't have to be Clingan from last year, but his role is crucial especially if Singare is nowhere near ready.
