[QUOTE="Rothfactor, post: 1680505, member: 748124"] I've been to a game now and can tell you that the underclassmen and newcomers do not play defense anywhere near our first 7 did last year. We are continually beat of the dribble. I think we are quick enough. We need to work on defense every practice and then have extra practices. Off subject, I keep hearing people bad mouth Damonte Williams because his lack of points scored and not nailing threes so far this year. Number 1....... He will find his stroke. Number 2........ He is perhaps our best rebounder. Number 3..... He is perhaps our best defender as he can guard every position at least adequately and ofter spectactularly. Number 4........ He always brings energy to the table. If we don't have him, we have two more losses. He wins ball games. I know he is a role player. But every team needs two or three of them to win a championship. Problem is a lot of our scorers are injured. [/QUOTE]
