Solo Ball is a flat out scorer who is getting better at what he does best.  The problem is that he is as bad a defender at this level as I hope he can been.  Overall, I am confused actually baffled at the lack of defensive footwork on thiis team.  Allowing anyone to get to the sideline then the baseline as well as into the middle with no effort to take space away and for the most part non-effective rotation to help just confuses me.  They are all athletic enough to tighten things up.  I am a man to man guy all the way but you have to be able to get it done.  It isn’t Mahaney’s fault entirely that he is exposed defensively by some mediocre college players.  If he wants to actually use him and get something out of him, I think that it is kind of obvious that the defensive scheme has to change At least when he is on the court.  I would also kind of like to see both centers get the green light to shoot 10 foot jump shots.  Them not being guarded at all at the foul line and above makes it almost impossible for anyone to penetrate to the rim even if they wanted to.
