Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2427234, member: 37"] We often agree so it's not a problem we diverge occasionally. I plan on watching the game again and will iso on Jalen's defense. I'm normally checking out the newer players and how they react to plays. I did watch Alterique much more closely. I have no problem with a taller player taking advantage of Alteirque's height and shooting over him or any player for that matter if the player is defending closely. But there were several plays he was slow to close out on a player and more than a few times players drove into the lanes because he did not defend well. But when he hounds a player he is on par with Christian and Anderson and my projection is he'll be better than those two. Jalen is slower on defense than those guys so he plays off his man more. But that's not laziness imo. I often see him fighting through screens and following his player. Alterique will hang nearer the basket whenever a player cuts to the opposite side of the court. It's his choice to help out players going to the rim as evidenced by his block of the BU player. [/QUOTE]
