[QUOTE="HailtotheChief, post: 2025056, member: 748387"] Imo one way to improve our defense is when we are playing a team with 5s that can't shoot 3s is to play Dain. Hawkins struggles in the post and gets bootie balled. When Hawkins goes up vs a big with a skill set similar to what Dain has he is overmatched. I stated during the game thread put in a quicker player to chase Christie and Dain in the post and we will win. BU did that with Harmon and Dain and Hawkins shifted to Garcia with Dain behind him and the defense at least got a bit better and we pulled away to win. We need more of that vs certain 5s. Plus having some fouls to give to not give away lay ups to poor FT shooters is good too which we rarely see anymore. [/QUOTE]
