Well, the guy who started at PG for Kentucky 2 years ago and went #1 in the draft couldn't guard Lin...
 
I'm not 100% sure I follow your point on the roster depth; on a team to team basis I think I see what you are saying, but all the salary cap does is allocate the money to players; it isn't like there are players not playing in the league that otherwise would because of the salary cap.
 
But the idea that Anthony Davis couldn't guard, for instance, Jared Jefferies? Come on.  Anthony Davis is going to be guarding NBA players in 8 months.  He's going to improve that much defensively in 8 months?

[COLOR=#000000]I think Gtown is a pretty good team, top 15ish seems right, and one of the best teams at home usually doesn't need OT to beat that kind of team.  (Though that is just usually; see Ohio State vs Purdue or UNC vs Duke).[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]But I don't really buy the rebounding thing; they got outrebounded because they aren't good at rebounding.  You could turn it around and say we needed OT to win a home game against a team that shot 33%.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]I would've felt more comfortable if we had beaten Gtown more easily, and there are clearly identifiable flaws in this team (which of course, every team has) that were illuminated here.  But in the long run, I am probably making too much of this game.  We played a good team, we won, I should be happy.  [/COLOR]
