[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1698828, member: 517079"] One thing that really stuck out last night was that, for as important as his shooting/offense has been for us this season, Plummer's defense is really hurting us. He's probably the worst backcourt defender we've had in the Underwood era. He gets targeted often and Kofi's lack of shot blocking means there's less resistance behind him to cover up for his weaknesses. We need Plummer's shooting to capitalize on the Kofi double/triple-teams on offense, but on defense I think he is best served when one of Coleman or Payne are on the court and can offer more rim protection. Either way, we need him to commit to being peskier/nastier on defense, despite his physical limitations, if we want to go on a run this March. [/QUOTE]
