Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1948482, member: 485"] What you describe is emerging as the core line-up (not the starting line-up, and likely JB will sub in Chukwu and/or Thompson when he wants to press). And, yes, White played the back of the zone when he and Battle were in the game at the same time. White looked good on defense. He does not stand out as a shot blocker, or an elite rebounder as Lydon & Roberson can. If Howard & Battle are better than White at the top of the zone, it is marginally better -- and those two have the potential to be terrific there. Same for White on the back of the zone -- he is safely within the range of what we have seen from other SU forwards his size. The comment about last night was "we were not identifying the shooters", especially when Lemoyne broke the press, and on too many occasions in half court. This was a team issue (not White more than others). [/QUOTE]
