Few things I've noticed on defense
- Cone has become a better defender, I remember he was getting bounced around by the Butler guy. No longer a liability. They allow him now to guard the perimeter shooters with a big size advantage, or the other teams best guard (Boogie Ellis, Jordan Pope)
- Keonte Kennedy is our best defender and has helped the defense since he's returned (usually guards the teams best overall player)
- Jaylon Tyson typically guards the weakest Forward in the starting 5 (Michael Rataj, Mulcahy). His defense has been great all season
- Celestine guards the best foward (Keion Brooks, Biledeau). He has quick hands and is able to punch the ball out before they get the shot. Only problem is he fouls quite a bit.
- Aimaq has improved since the Colorado game when Lampkin put him on a clinic. When a guard switches onto him, it creates a big mismatch which has only happened a few times.
I think our defense has gotten better because the guys have bought in, but also how we got healthy mid season.
