And so will Vaaks be coachable... if he wants to play big minutes...and be in there at the end of close games. He was rated a poor defender at Providence. a little slow-footed. The freshmen will make him work! Especially Morillo and Q.He got pulled from multiple games early last year for defensive mistakes. He was a little in Brad's doghouse and you could see Brad specifically chewing him out on the sidelines.
I'm glad it worked because he improved dramatically from the start to the end of the year. Brad always knew he was capable and kudos to Andrej for being coachable.
