We have no rim protection, and he's played Naheem about 11 minutes in four games.  He has to play, just to block a couple shots, get a goal tend and intimidate people a bit. It would improve the defense.

And we're going to have to play some zone, or else Carlos can't play this many minutes. He's really poor defensively.

Eddie doesn't play good enough position defense. He gives up so many direct drives to the hoop, because I guess he would frequently  foul.  He's the kind of guy to be on a team that outscores people.

Donnie has to start, just because of who he is, and I liked seeing him drive into the lane a few times. Not his best game; did not finish the game.

We look a guard short right now.  Somebody has to emerge.  Red needs to play and pull more people to enforce some effort on defense.  He has to play Naheem, and pretty soon, he's going to have to mix in some zone, and some press.

This team is too soft in man, because we can't play all the defensive guys we need to.  It just gives up too much offense, in Red's eyes.
