Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2003600, member: 489"] Not even close to the best defensive player in the AAC, certainly not in the country and not even on the team maybe. He was schooled out of the clock this year vs Wagner and 6'7 white dude who threw his shoulder into him and scored probably more than he did the rest of the year vs anyone. His defense will also keep him from the NBA we know he's pitiful offensively but he has zero defensive ability vs physical bigs and that's all he will see. He can't rebound worth a squat in all reality you overrate him immensely. Can't hedge well, doesn't move his feet when he needs to help - believe it or not this is ALL part of defense not just blocking shots. He blocks shots, that's it and every 3 or so he even keeps them in play. Won't miss him at sorry (we will miss Facey now that he actually gets it and improved though) - will be able to play 5 on 5 on offense too which will be great and even adding an extra guard will give us more rebounds if we go small. Zero shot in the NBA ever just not a smart enough basketball player. Admit he's a great kid, love his cheering but unfortunately for us this was his best attribute. I wish him luck and for his sake I hope you're right but the NBA is not even looking is my guess. Imagine getting in foul trouble vs 6'9 centers who aren't very good or even that physical then think about him vs any NBA center - ouch painful thought. Agree to disagree we aren't close. [/QUOTE]
