Best defensive player ever @ UConn and then in the NBA

[2014DualCs]

We’re spoiled and arguing tomato/tomáto but we’re acting like Emeka didn’t do the same thing (in terms of scaring people out of the paint), but have numbers to back it up and able to play more minutes.

Clingan didn’t even win BEDPOY or DPOY. Emeka won them both twice.

It’s actually neither. Tarris Reed has entered the chat.

Emeka was a really good defensive player. We’ve never had a player who’s had a bigger impact on our defense than Clingan. Honestly, I’m not sure anyone’s ever had as big an impact on both ends of the floor in terms of how he allowed us to play.

If you’re going big guy route, Thabeet was pretty dominating on defensive side of ball.

This. If you graded Emeka and Donovan game by game, I have no doubt Emeka would have better grades. But notwithstanding that, Donovan had more impact on the defensive side just because of the combination of his size and athleticism.

No. Not even close. Last night was a great defensive performance, but you have to compare based on at least a season, and not a game.

That's not what he's doing. He just wishes Adams didn't do a PG year at Brewster and instead got to play a year with Boat.

You're going off on some weird tangent about how the landscape has changed in college basketball with the portal.

This AI bot just glitched hard.

I appreciate the insight. The joke clearly passed overhead in another galaxy.

I drove to/from the game from Vermont yesterday. Didn’t get home until 12:30 so if I am slow on the intake forgive me.

That’s dedication, love it!
