[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 68154, member: 572"] [USER=1199]@orientalnc[/USER] that's fair. I agree that we won't have a stopper like Miller (2.4blk/gm) or, to a lesser degree, Carter (0.8blk/gm), but I don't think we're getting slouches in Cox (0.76blk/gm), Mitchell (0.5blk/gm), & Sampson (1.8blk/gm). Adding in Holsey (0.3blk/gm) for apples to apples we'll have about 3.1blk/gm compared to 3.5blk/gm. I think the interior defense will be different, but not the massive drop off you may initially think. I also think our interior rebounding will be pretty stout. As far as our perimeter defense goes, I think the unknowns are Travis, depending on his recovery, and Bolden, depending on his sheer desire to improve. Bolden appears to put in effort, but he just seemed really slowed down last season. MGH defended the opposing teams' best players last year, Heyward is solid in defense and I think that's his long term role, and I'll leave the defensive expectations for Tadric to [USER=484]@connell62[/USER]. All in all, I think the team will have to put forth a big effort, but they're positioned ok defensively. Honestly, I don't care about us being flashy at this point, I just want more wins. If we play like Clemson and get 20, I'll be fine with it. That's step 1 to turn things around. [/QUOTE]
