Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 5757740, member: 237"] So watched a bunch of different clips and game segments. What I take for him defensively is you can’t leave him on an island. He does better if ball pressure and perimeter defense stays true and he’s not constantly having to guard without weak side help or some pressure being put on the ballhandler. I think it’s fair to say that won’t be an issue this year with this team. He fights hard on the block, is not always perfectly in position and some of his challenges at the rim are awkward. He had a nose for rebounds and finishing downlow and an array of moves that working with AO could help him polish. He fits what you want in a post presence to take advantage of a favorable matchup or to simply play inside out with. I’ve seen no tape or segments of these games where he is unplayable. Nothing resembling dry rubs post D. [/QUOTE]
