Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5532591, member: 722"] Rick Jackson led the team with 2 blocks per game, followed by Wes Johnson at 1.8 and Arinze Onuaku at 1.1. The team averaged 6.6 blocks per game, which was 9th in the country back then and would have been .4 blocks per game ahead of UConn for best in the country last year. By block % though, the best shotblocker on the team was Dash Riley at 11.1%. Small sample sizes are fun. Of the guys who actually played, they weren't great shotblockers by percentage. Jackson 8.2, Johnson 5.7 and Onuaku 5.2. James Southerland was at 7.9, like Riley, in very limited time. To put it in perspective, McLeod led the team with 7.2% and Majstorovic was second at only 2.1 block%. We were really bad at defense last season. Good thing Kyle was at 10.2% playing in the Big 10 last season with UCLA. Short or not, William Kyle will be a big upgrade defensively for us this season. [/QUOTE]
