Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 10:41:41 AMEhhh, I think he's saying the defense is so broken that it would be difficult for any 'rim protector' to do a good job. Things are breaking down so badly far away from the basket that we're f**k at that point.

Quote from: tower912 on Today at 10:32:43 AMLike he got destroyed by Ejiofor late last season. The problem isn't Ben. Look at the lack of containment on the perimeter. Royce is no Joplin on the defensive end either. Ben can't 'do his work early' defending the post because there is yet another guard driving in a straight line to the basket. Or another blown switch leading to an alley oop.Thanks for proving my point. MU has no rim protector or rebounding big. The point is if Gold is the best person you have in that capacity you have a big problem against high major teams. I feel bad for Ben that he is put in that situation. It is totally unfair to him. MU is not a good team this year. Has a lot of youth but if this team had a big that could rebound they probably would have 4 more wins.
For me, the team defense is the most puzzling part of this season. Ben is part of that, but he is a deck chair on the Titanic of the defensive issues.
Quote from: Aircraftcarrier on Today at 10:18:42 AMDid Ben play against Georgetown, Purdue,Oklahoma and Wisconsin? Look it up and look at the opponents big man results. MU got destroyed. Ben should not be guarding a 5 man in the post.He gets punished.against the good teams.Like he got destroyed by Ejiofor late last season. The problem isn't Ben.

Quote from: tower912 on Today at 10:09:59 AMAnd Ben barely played last night or against Villanova. He didn't play against SJU. And yet you blame him.Did Ben play against Georgetown, Purdue,Oklahoma and Wisconsin? Look it up and look at the opponents big man results. MU got destroyed. Ben should not be guarding a 5 man in the post.He gets punished.against the good teams.
Parham is playing a lot of small ball 5, which is a bad fit. Yes, Hamilton and Clark have ample room for improvement. Who is arguing anything different? But the only way out is through. The only way to improve is to play.
