I haven’t much to say about the defense of three of our recruits.

Anthony only had offensive highlights, so might take after his old man when it comes to defense… Fennell and Womack don’t have much video of them playing defense either.

White on the other hand, is a long, agile, ‘defend effectively at least four positions’ type player. His length makes him a good shotblocker as well. He might get a lot of steals too. He’s the freshman I’m most excited about, enough where I keep shaking my head at people insisting we “need” another small forward.  I think Freeman, White and Kingz, with tiny bits of help from Anthony and Fennell will be pretty good at the 3.

I’m actually not sold on Starling and Fennell being the only backup point guards, a Carlos clone would be good on this roster.

We need more players, sure, but in the intended Davis, Lucas Taylor role, experienced, inexpensive depth in case of injuries. Those guys would be great 11 and 12 guys on this exact roster.

We do need a center or two. Freeman will be exposed as too small if he has to play center too much, and even Kyle is a little light to play too many minutes. A starter with really good size would be so much better. Kyle off the bench for 15-20 at center and 5 or so next to the center at PF would be preferable.

Freeman can play beside two big men as well, if the situation calls for a big lineup. I think Transfer Center, Kyle, Freeman, Kingz and George could be a really strong lineup depending on a few things.
