Message: [QUOTE="Spaceman213J, post: 5345949, member: 6477"] I think it is so tough just to generically say the one guy is an AA. Castle was great defensively, but Clingan's presence on the floor just made everybody better defensively. It lessens the burden. Also, the way the game is being is called makes a difference. The NCAA with their 'points of emphasis' are constantly changing the way the game is called. If it's physical, rough and tumble, then the center gets a little more influence there. If it is tight reffing with no hand-checking at all, then a PG like Kemba who can shift gears and directions with the best of them, he has a big advantage, but it could also backfire because he could be pretty physical with other guards. Of the guys that have gone through Storrs in the past few decades, I'd start with Clingan (not even an AA) and build around him. The guy just ate up so much space and made the defensive end of the floor much easier for everyone else and he was an underrated passer by many. [/QUOTE]
