Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4990324, member: 1329"] Mahaney tries, but he's not built to be a good 1v1 defender. McNeeley similarly is a very good team defender and has size, but won't be a shut-down 1v1 guy. Reed is an excellent post defender, but just an average rim protector. Samson is a decent rim protector, but a poor post defender. Ball wasn't as good as he can be last year, I'm hoping for improvements there. Stewart should be fine, maybe better than fine if he buys in all the way. Diarra will be incredible. Ross has defensive upside and drive, but we'll see. Abraham should be very good by the following season. Nowell should be alright 1v1 from the jump, but we'll see about the team rotation stuff. Karaban will be the same as he's been, good team defender, but likely a little stronger and better to hold up as a 4. [/QUOTE]
