Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 5066864, member: 730"] +1 If a team has a lot of strong quick and athletic players then great defense is largely a matter of effort. Last season UConn developed into a very good but under-manned defensive team. The depth of the roster right now tells me that Geno is going to play very aggressive defense. Not necessarily a press but putting pressure on the ball to force the offense to react to the defense. That requires a lot of subbing out players, something UConn hasn't had for the last 2 years. If the 1st year players can get into the rotation then UConn could have one of their best scoring teams ever. They would have at least 5 elite 3pt shooters and several inside scorers. Scoring will not be a problem, however players who are defensive liabilities will not see a lot of floor time. (I don't think they will have any defensive liabilities) [/QUOTE]
