[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 405895, member: 274"] More often than not, I think it's fair to assume a true frosh is going to be a liability defensively. That could be due to lack of strength, speed of the game, want-to, AAU, new scheme in college, or all of the above. The exceptions to that rule seem to be those who come in with a publicized/known aptitude on that end of the court. E.g., Alvarado had some pub for being a menace and averaged 1.7 steals/game in his true freshman campaign (and even he had some obvious adjusting to do on D in knowing where to be). With Sjolund it feels like his "rep" is as a shooter and can maybe facilitate out of the 4 or 5. We haven't heard much about him in general let alone on D, and so we may be pleasantly surprised about his D, but my guess is he's not a 3point sniping AND ball hawking/shot blocking/get in your grill prospect. My hope for that end of the court is that he arrives with good fundamentals and more importantly is coachable, and so far in observing one class I think CJP has shown he is finding those types of guys.
