We haven't had a good ball pressure guard defender up top all that often. And if we do its always only one.
imagine if  mcw, and rautins or dion were up top in the zone defensively together, like ville had a few years back when they won.

Oh and we just got rid of buss, everyone bashed (even our nba star) however he was our best guard defender and will be the best guard defender of anyone on syracuse's current roster and our current future commits.

In this day and age teams that ball pressure and play aggressive win, and even if they lose a close one its alot more heartbreaking because they really pushed and wanted it. I get tired of watching the smart ball, especially when you aren't shooting the eyes out of the basket, it just puts so much pressure when the offense isn't on fire and your not getting transition baskets(which teams can play offense to not give up nowadays).

dont get me wrong I like the zone, I just think one of the most important aspects along with weakside rebounding, a good anchor, and some strength in the backline(which we lack sometimes) is good pressure guard defense uptop.  Its the last one we lack all to often (like the last 2 years).

tipped balls, traps, passing lanes, blocks, and doubling in the paint are a given we  get those every year reguardless.
