We should be fine defensively in the front court if Cook returns. I think Kreiner gets better there, Garza gets better, Nunge gets better...and you have Baer who can play defense. The problem I have is that we don't play defense well in the backcourt. We have guards that can score...but right now...they are giving up more than they are getting...points and defensive breakdowns included. If you look at our defensive issues...most of it started with penetration...which forced us to be out of position...which created issues.
I'm hopeful we can get this shored up...but if you ask me...I think we are soft in the backcourt and until they show me differently...I'll say we will be soft again there next year. I hope I'm wrong.
