First 15 or so games 1000%, was probably the best perimeter defender in the country. During the BE he’s been poor in comparison to his standards, and probably just okay overall. Good for him though.

Just shows that good pr is more important than good play in this stuff. He isn’t even the DPOY on his own team.

Oscar being on that list must be a mistake.

He has recently started to develop bad habits on D that he didn’t have earlier in year. He’s trying to make the big play and let’s his guy have step and he thinks his leaping ability can make up with a block. It worked a few times but most times its a foul. However, he was a menace on the press and in the 1-3-1.

I wonder if the game film of Kalkbrenner vs Sanogo is part of what voters will be reviewing.

Andre has had to defend excellent players all year. We can point to anecdotal evidence - Brandon Miller, Sceierman, etc. - as well as analytic evidence. Evan Miyakawa rates the quality of opponents a player has had to defend here.

I felt bad for him last night. He looked so defeated with the ball last night. He literally got the ball at one point turned expecting a defender and no one was there and you could see him think about shooting but instead just took a dribble turned and passed the ball to Newton. That has to be the low point in the season for him. When guys just sag off of you daring you to shoot its a slap in the face. I think its safe to say he will be coming back next season. NO way in the world is he in any way ready for the NBA.
Interesting to see Jordan on this list too…lots of love for the BE on here.

Devin Carter is 4th in the Big East in steals and 10th in blocks (even though he’s a guard)

This is a brilliant post. In BE play Carter is tied for 3rd in blocks and and 3rd in steals. He’s 6’3”. Jackson is not in the top 20 in either. Who’s really stupid?

The one using blocks and steals as a measure of defensive ability. And to be clear I'm not saying Carter is bad on defense or anything, but this isn't an award of most blocks and steals

It has nothing to do with Jackson, but Devin Carter should definitely be on that list. The fact that Oscar Tshiebwe is on it is equally ridiculous.

Andre only knows how to play one style of defense. In your face, aggressive, swarming, and unfortunately foul prone.
His next evolution defensively is to play intelligent defense. Scout your opponent better. Know their tendencies and exploit it. Make them drive with their weak hand. Understand where your help defense is. Understand time and situation. Play with controlled, focused aggression.

Agreed - and it can't wait nor should it have to wait until next year. It should happen next game - or reduce his minutes. Hurley has to manage things that way. Period. Players are not dumb and will respond.

Even with his faults, he is still a good defender. This list really seems like take the top 15 defenses and choose a player. Literally only one non-power 5 conference player in Sharp, who averages over 4 blocks a game. Take this list with a grain of salt.

Too bad defense is no longer valued in the NBA.

It was Newton, and in the early part of the game he did a fantastic job. Boum didn't score for the first 1/4 of game or so.

LOL, Do you honestly believe Andre Jackson is a better defender than Devin Carter? Devin Carter is the best defender at PC since John Linehan.

I do, but I also think they're 2 of the best defenders in the Big East so it's splitting hairs. I'm just saying there's plenty of stats to show why Carter should have made the watch list that aren't blocks and steals

I haven't seen him enough, but his metrics are good but not stellar. Def Box+/- is +4. As for steals, 34 isn't all that many. Linehan had 137 his last season. Jackson Def Box+/- is +5.5, 24 steals. I noticed that Clifton Moore isn't far behind Carter on defensive metrics.

I watch a lot of PC games, hell, I watch a lot Big East games. Devin Carter is a very good defender IMO. People don't realize how athletic he is, in fact he is a good all around well rounded player.
It should be a good one when PC visits Gampel later in February.
BTW, thanks very much for the parking advice in Providence (the mall parking). It was fun hanging out in Federal Hill and going to the game even though the wrong team won

Jackson's Defensive Efficiency Rating is also better than Carters, same with Defensive Win Share.I haven't seen him enough, but his metrics are good but not stellar. Def Box+/- is +4. As for steals, 34 isn't all that many. Linehan had 137 his last season. Jackson Def Box+/- is +5.5, 24 steals. I noticed that Clifton Moore isn't far behind Carter on defensive metrics.

I’m fairly new to EvanMiya.com, but these are the Big East leaders in defensive rating according to his site.

LOL, there is a metric site referenced in this thread that tells me Jackson is a much better offensive player than Bryce Hopkins. You should have just stopped after your first 5 words.I haven't seen him enough, but his metrics are good but not stellar. Def Box+/- is +4. As for steals, 34 isn't all that many. Linehan had 137 his last season. Jackson Def Box+/- is +5.5, 24 steals. I noticed that Clifton Moore isn't far behind Carter on defensive metrics.
