Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2064323, member: 489"] His defense is not good at all. Some is slower feet, but most is just natural ability to know where you need to be. The instincts of seeing the play unfold before it does, if you have this you can make plays and be a solid defender even with slower feet. He doesn't seem to grasp this much like all of our bigs as of late. It's the part of the game you need to get, can't really "work on it" unless you're playing. I hope he suddenly gets it but I am not confident in the guys who don't have that concept by now, but one never knows. His offensive ability is very good but we won't see that bloom until he plays more, stays out of foul trouble and plays defense enabling him to stay on the floor. [/QUOTE]
