Message: [QUOTE="CTFAN4LIFE, post: 4191450, member: 3328"] Another bit of context is that not being able to play at least some modicum of defense will keep freshman off the floor. From the little we've seen out of Diggins and Johnson in games leads me to believe that their defense is not good enough yet to warrant minutes; no matter how good their offensive skills may or may not be. I bet the coaching staff that sees these guys every day in practice has a better read on this than anyone on this board. The good thing for the program is that Floyd and Karaban will be in the mix next year, so there's hope that amongst those two plus Diggins and Johnson that guys will step up into the vacated space left by Polley, Whaley, and presumably Martin (and maybe Cole). I still think there's a slight/decent possibility that we'll dip into the transfer portal for the right player if it is (painfully) obvious that the underclassmen aren't quite ready yet given Martin and Cole both move on.
