Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 3652584, member: 6979"] dolezaj is a good player...maybe not a championship-caliber starter...but he SUXKS defensively as a a center.TRULY. I feel for him. he is playing the way he needs to stay in the game and not foul out...which is NECESSARY. but he just does nothing to stop an opponent in there. the whole arms straight in the air thing might work once in a while if opponents didnt know it was coming...but at this point it has been telegraphed. opposing bigs know that su bigs are not trying to block or truly oppose anything they do. they rellax and swish. or lay it in uncontested. its not a sustainable strategy for wins defensively. in fairness, ncaa refs call it way too tight on marek generally so he is in a tough spot as a skinny player who must be physical to compete... again, i like marek. good player. but HORRIBLE as the center in the zone in my opinion. Just way too easy for teams to get EASY buckets all game long. [/QUOTE]
