Message: [QUOTE="Spaceman213J, post: 5153158, member: 6477"] Watching the games, one of the things that stick out is how much of defensive clog Clingan was. He made it either going over the top of screens easier for guards because they could rely on his retreat defense to still guard the rim and take away the passing lane to the big man if he rolls. He also made hard closeouts easier because if the guy pump fakes and drives, DC was still there. Sanogo was really good at positioning himself as well. I do think that Solo closes on the 3 point line weakly. A few of the guys look like they're going out on ice. Newton, Castle and Spencer (later in the year) were pretty good at closing out, and all had natural size and length which helps a lot. [/QUOTE]
