Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 2702026, member: 1609"] With all those guards I suspected pressure, which does not necessarily mean full court Turning people over with intense on ball commitment leaves you vulnerable to penetration ,so a rim defender like Yakwe is essential . That was the same game plan as last year until Gilbert’s injury. Reserves are important in this game plan. DO was suppose to be that guy but was such an offensive liability that his minimal contribution on defense were completely over shadowed. Unless this kid is injured he should be at a significantly higher level as DO was a desperation add when Enoch bolted for greener (bluegrass ) pastures. When CV comes back with Smith , JAdams ,and especially Gilbert you have four guards capable of disrupting your offense or turning you over.. opposing coaches and guards will not be happy playing us. Shooting is still the limiting factor in significant success but I would suspect the D to keep us in some games. PS I don’t like to put any pressure on freshman like Adams II. [/QUOTE]
