Message: [QUOTE="his dudeness, post: 5233853, member: 3732"] According to Evan Miya's analytics, the MVP was Diarra, followed in order by Karaban, Tarris, Liam, Samson, then Solo. Biggest surprise is that Tarris had the best defensive analytics on the team, when it appeared to me (a novice) that he lost track of the ball and gave up too many uncontested layups when caught out of position. His defensive rebounding dominance and solid post defense must have more than made up for any mistakes. His defensive analytics were significantly better than Sanogo's final year, surprising to me. My novice take away from this season is that Clingan's drop coverage rim protection was the defensive key to the back to back championships. It cannot be overlooked. Even though he didn't play a ton of minutes as a freshman, he was defensively dominant and erased so many of the blow by's that our 3 point-denial-focused defense allows. If the staff wants to compete for another championship, they should develop Reibe to play a drop coverage rim protector role. I don't think Reibe is considered a dominant rim protector prospect but he does have good size. The staff has done an incredible job with bigs overall but they did miscast Josh Carlton - who was great in his final year at Houston - because they wanted him to hedge. The high hedge is a great tool but can be picked apart by elite opposing staffs/point guards. If Reibe is not right for drop coverage, they should looking for someone to play that role. Clingan's rim protection was [B]the key[/B] to back to back championships IMO. [URL unfurl="true"]https://evanmiya.com/?player_ratings[/URL] [/QUOTE]
