Message: [QUOTE="Funk Doc, post: 2233884, member: 5344"] Yeah...it is very tough to evaluate how much that hurts us when schools use it. For me, even though a bias Orange answer, is that it really shouldn't. I mean the ultimate goal for recruits, has and always will be the NBA. When is the last time a player was taken early simply because they were a great defender, even without a solid offensive game? Rodman? Can't think of too many others. Usually the narrative on draft day is that defense is correlated to how athletic the player is, and are they willing to put the effort in to be a great defender. Again, I'm bias. I like the zone, don't love it. Wish we mixed it up still though! With the right personnel, it can really be a great weapon. [/QUOTE]
