[QUOTE="AttentionDeficit, post: 1517838, member: 3235"] I agree that all the many changes are positives. But if we had played this year's defense last year (with last year's roster), how many wins would it have bought us? With a foul-prone freshman Giorgi, De La Rosa, and Kane as our post defenders of size, i hesitate to say it would even have been a net positive. Roster construction and youth put a lowish ceiling on last year's team, no matter what defense they were playing. With this year's roster it makes sense and has been working better and better as the season goes on, but if Kofi goes pro, and Hamlin isn't ready next year (who am i kidding - OA will make him a most improved player!), i can easily imagine us changing things up to fit the roster once again. As it should be. [/QUOTE]
