Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 4839813, member: 12414"] Aka the Clingan effect. Not having DC has clearly impacted our defense. Samson is doing a good job but the difference is that when DC is in the game and one of our guards gets beat off the dribble the opposing player see DC and decides to stop heading to the basket. With Samson they go and he blocks a few but we are picking up way more fouls. Not having DC hurts on offensive but because we have enough skill players and shooters we are still very efficient especially if Alex is shooting well. On defense, my eye test agrees with the computers we are not in the same class. However I do think we can improve even without DC from our current ranking. I think Steph as he continues to get to 100% is going to improve our defense. Love Alex but his defensive metrics cannot be great. Cam gets a lot of steals so he may not hurt us as much as there has to be an offset. [/QUOTE]
