Message: [QUOTE="PAHusky, post: 3900104, member: 3807"] Agree on Cole. He's gotten a rep on this board as an incredible on ball defender at the levels of some of our past great guards and I just don't see it. I think he's definitely above average, but if he doesn't make a defensive play outside of the other teams three point line he's toast - he's not big enough to stop a lot of guards from getting to the rim and can get abused on occasion. I like what he brings to the table but we can't trot him out with other minus defenders and expect to be ok. On another, somewhat unrelated note, I hope Bouk is 100% healthy so that he can start bringing some effort on D again. I know he's exhausting himself on the other end, but he's had too many times recently where he's lazy rotating, doesn't put a hand up or simply falls asleep on D. Only tough on him because he has the ability and instincts to be a plus defender when he wants. [/QUOTE]
