Would it be in Iowa's best interest to go out and try to find a specialized lock down defender, even if they don't score all that much? Like a guy who can take care of the ball, keep turnovers to a minimal, but be damn good at defending and rebounding.
Maybe not even have to be at the PG position, but just a guy that can be assigned to the opposing teams best player to keep in check. Iowa seems to have enough scoring but has lacked on the defense. Maybe getting one of these guys wouldn't be that bad for a team like Iowa to help on that end of the court. Iowa seems to find enough pts on the offense end and I think they could with 4 guys. A guy who can disrupt the other team or player, get some boards, even though only get you 2-5 pt's a game.
Seems a college team could be able to recruit one of these guys who may not get that many offers secondary to not being a scorer. The net gain could be there if they hold the opposing player down. A player like this could have his 5 pt's scored on the offense be an actual net gain for the team of 18 or so depending on how much they hold the other team down.
Just wondering and slow over here.
