Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3826485, member: 6696"] Yeah, since we're focusing so much on hard hedges, the shot-blocking 4 makes a lot of sense. Kind of the best of both worlds when you get someone who can block shots like a big on defense, but spread the floor like a guard on the other end. I wish we had a defense other than hard hedge and pressure the ball. We basically do the same thing on defense all the time, and just switch matchups. Some kind of zone or another wrinkle in our man to man defense could make use better. There isn't a lot to complain about... we're kenpom 22 in the country in defense. But I think we could be better with a couple of different looks in our back pocket for a few minutes a game to change the tempo. Our best look right now is Whaley at the 4 and Sanogo at the 5 for sure. I'd imagine a healthy Akok/Johnson next year if they are ready to contribute could be very effective at taking our defense to the next level. [/QUOTE]
