[QUOTE="FeelYourPaign, post: 1356091, member: 8127"] I'm a little confused/surprised by all of the mentions that Mark Smith's weak point is defense and the suggestion that he is behind because he didn't play AAU. I have the impression . . . no personal knowledge at all . . . that nobody in AAU plays defense anyway. So, did that really hurt him? Or is the point of no AAU more that the speed and skill of those players is higher than high school and even if they don't play intense defense, playing against bigger stronger players is what is requiring an adjustment?
