Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 5166363, member: 9355"] Jaylin played very good defense in the Nova game for sure. However, Dixon, as great of a player that he is now being the nation's leading scorer, he isn't really fast and quick driving to the hoop so Jaylin matched up better with him as opposed to someone that is fast and quick on dribble penetration. Jaylin's problem, as well as many other players on UConn except Hass, is lateral foot movement. Hopefully Jaylin can build on his strong defensive performance (and solid offensive performance, too) and guard quicker and faster players. If he builds on both his offensive and defensive performance game by game, Hurley is correct. this team will be even stronger once Liam returns. I don't want to see an 0-fer from Jaylin next game against Georgetown. Georgetown has a lot of size and athleticism-Jaylin will be needed. [/QUOTE]
