Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3732837, member: 6696"] As others have pointed out, Whaleys PnR defense is elite--years ahead of most college bigs. This skill alone makes him our best center unless someone else can make surprise us. If he plays like he did the half of the season, we will be very good. Stats last 12 games: 10.3 PPG 7.9 RPG 0.8 APG 1.4 TO 0.8 STL 2.5 BLK 53%FG (6.4 attempts) 78% FT (3.3 attempts) 27.5 Minutes per contest A competent center (particularly on defense) elevates our team so much. We have been stuck with Carlton at the 5, who as much as he is a great kid, can't do the things most needed in Hurley's kind of big man: defend pnr, block shots, effeciency, aggressive defense on the perimeter, opportunistic and positional offense, rather than 3 dribble post ups.
