Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 3554108, member: 485"] Those stats (our weak inside scoring and inside defense) confirm what we saw in many games last season. Opposing big guys killed us; our bigs were slim, finesse players who frequently got over-powered. They also got into foul trouble which will usually be the result when more bulky opponents do their work inside. Having made that point, the article does not get into why it might be different this season. Alan Griffin is a good rebounder for his size, but he probably isn’t going to be better than Hughes. The improvement has to come from Sidibe, Dolezaj, and Edwards — each of whom reportedly has added muscle. That might be the #1 factor in the team’s ability to compete and be better than a #9 projection in the ACC. [/QUOTE]
