Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 5141475, member: 10678"] We were spoiled last year by some elite defenders now playing in the NBA. Ross has a ways to go and needs to contribute when he's on the floor -any way he can. If he could begin to impact/disrupt on the defensive side of the ball-rebounds/tips/50-50 balls/steals. In the minutes he gets- It could really help this team. Once he's put a few games together with some consistency as a defensive disruptor- Other things could very well fall into place.Seems to be over-playing a little bit on D and taking some chances to facilitate the breakaway dunk if possible. Stay in front of your guy and get possession of the ball for your team first. And then-Explode down the court and try to beat your guy with your speed. You'll get rewarded with the ball on offense if you're getting stops on defense. Gotta see the ball go through the net within the flow of the game and when open. Will help his confidence. [/QUOTE]
