Message: [QUOTE="WhereistheDove?, post: 5351433, member: 1109"] I’ve said all along, I don’t have to squint hard to see him becoming a defensive stopper. I do find it interesting to see your view is that he needs to be more aggressive on defense. I’d say almost the exact opposite. To me his biggest issue is that he mixes in good defensive possessions with giving some absolute wide open looks to his man. The common theme I see is over-aggressiveness. He tends to bite on pump fakes, gets off balance pressuring the ball-handler, or over helps off-ball. I loved seeing the second half against BC because he seemed to play much more composed on the defensive end. He’s long, athletic, and has some good defensive instincts, and doesn’t need to do as much as he has historically to be a disruptive defender. [/QUOTE]
