Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 5350493, member: 1522"] In theory I agree with you, it's why I singled out Ross. He has the physical profile of what we need because he's quicker and more athletic than Jaylin. He looks like he could be a great defender who could provide us much needed versatility defensively and athletically but he was actually probably our worst defender last season. Jaylin is more offensively gifted but this is already an offensively gifted team and we don't need him hoisting. I would much rather see him be a guy who operates mid-range/closer to the basket and get us those tough twos when things break down or we aren't hitting from three. His problem is he simply isn't focused nearly enough on defense and he can't stay in front of fast guys on the perimeter. With that being said... Jaylin has at least given us some good performances scoring the ball against tough opponents like Creighton, Marquette, Memphis, Nova (both offensively and defensively.) Jayden has yet to give us a good performance against a tough opponent in his career. The way I look at it is Jayden is the more important player because of need but he's also the bigger question mark because he's really yet to do anything here so far in the actual games. [/QUOTE]
