Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3244973, member: 250"] Could say the defense question about any freshman and maybe it is based on Geno's joke earlier this summer, which he retreaded from a quip about Sveta. Or maybe it is based on this free grazing remark from Dan Connolly? "The highlights were almost completely offense-focused, so Makurat’s defense is still an unknown quantity. However, she does show a willingness to fight for rebounds when she ends up on the low block. The biggest question mark with Makurat is her athleticism. She isn’t slow and has enough burst to beat defenders but she won’t to blow anyone away like Dangerfield can. Can Makurat defend faster players and can she get past defenders that might have the upper hand on quickness? That remains to be seen." She's 6+, is very strong, and a very nifty ball handler. My bigger question is do we have a back line that has her back. Won't blow anyone away like Dangerfield can. Talk about straining to have something to say! She'll be an impact player and fast.
