Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3417962, member: 1414"] He's absolutely really good at this and recovers very quickly. Because he's actually an undersized 4. Carlton is terrible at this and recovers very slowly, leaving the lane vulnerable. That said, Carlton is much better at handling big post players around the rim, holding ground and disrupting their shots. Whaley can block shots, but mostly of smaller guys. UConn defense under Ollie (and JC to some extent) didn't really ask the center to hedge out so far on screens and recover quickly. Brimah wasn't good at it either. Hurley really expects this, which is why Josh has struggled in his defense. But next time we face a big center, we are going to want Josh in. Hurley need to adjust and stop letting opponents drag him outside. [/QUOTE]
