Defensive Focus

[D$]

As good as Shabazz is on offense, his commitment to a full defensive possession is horrendous. Not sure if it is laziness or ADD, but it's going on three years now and is getting old...

in his defense, he was excellent as a frosh. but you're right, he's reaching way too much

i honestly think he's trying to go less than 100% because he knows he's needed on offense, but he needs to move his feet more. And, i would rather he didnt collapse into the middle so often.

It's a huge problem with both the guards and in turn, leaves an already defenseless front court in rough shape chasing their guys too.........defense starts with them and I'd be happy with less steals and more of them keeping their guy in front of them once in a while!

I think we lost because we could not defend the free throws.

Boat drifts too much on D if the possession goes the full 35, and when people take him to the hoop we are in trouble.
