Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 2244576, member: 485"] So, we are in raging agreement. Thompson has the size and athleticism to improve as a defender. He struggled to defend without fouling and needs to improve his commitment to defensive rebounding. Still, we have seen lanky frosh get better as they get stronger, learn what JB expects, and accept a larger role in the rotation. It will help our defense at the 5 if the guards can prevent penetration -- Battle with Thorpe should be a better duo in that element of zone defense. And, yes, a big key is getting supplemental shooting and inside scoring from Brissett, Moyer and Dolezaj. Defenses will have to key on Thompson & Battle, so these three will have their opportunities.
