He’s a good bench piece and not a starter IMO

With West Virginia being 15th in defensive efficiency last year despite lacking any real kind of shot blocker (Hansberry played the most minutes at center and he blocked 12 shots all year), I'm confident that DeVries will be able to coach the players he has into playing solid defense.  

I understand he has had good defenses. But personnel matters. As it stands now we are a bad defensive personnel team. The good thing is we won’t have Woody confusing the **** out of them and they can play defense. We have a negative defender at every position so far. Gonna be a real humdinger.

Hey I didn’t say I didn’t want him haha but if him and DeVries play the same position then my statement is true.

Thinking aloud: we’re going to see some late game offense/defense subbing. Goode and Pack(?) on for offense/FT%, Enright and [rim protecting 5 like Bidunga] on for defense

UK and Bama wanted Bailey.  Would be a great pickup for IU if he chooses IU

Tom Crean is that you?

No doubt. I love his offensive skillset. Just worried about our team defense as DeVries and Goode struggle on D. And I think even though he’s pesky, Enright is gonna get exposed on D as well.

Enright is a plus defender.

I am just saying I am less worried about the defense than you are (and think your opinion of Enright's defense is waaayyyyy off).  West Virginia's defensive personnel wasn't good.  They had Harris and their backup center as the only plus defenders.

Good line.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

We’ll see about that. Size and skill are lot tougher than he’s seen on a consistent basis. Watching his film, he’s gonna get bullied by the tough guards and walked by the more athletic guards. My opinion.

I haven’t looked at other Big Ten rosters. Who are the elite point guards who will expose Enright?

Hurley said it best lately.  Games changed now.   Im paraphrasing but basically recruit offense and worry about defense later.  He has a clip out there somewhere where he talks about it    Excited to see it all play out

We aren't going to agree on Enright, but that's all good, brother.

I think you would agree that if Bailey signs and Good is given another year of eligibility that DeVries is putting together a team that can really shoot the ball and can always look for individual defensive skill sets in other players he brings in.

When looking to these transfers from mid majors I always look at what they do vs. high major programs. He played 2 this year: 

Gonzaga - he had 9 pts 4 rebounds 2 assists - 24 minutes played 

Arizona - he had 19 pts 5 rebounds 3 assists - 29 minutes played 

18 and 11 against Providence.   30 piece on Archie and Rhode Island

He played in the Big East. That’s a size and skill conference. Hell, Anthony Leal turned into one of the best defenders in the B1G. It can be taught, especially for guards/wings. A rim protector would be nice though.

Obviously Braden Smith is an elite college point guard but he turned it over 12 times in two games getting guarded by mostly Rice and Galloway.

Anyway, elite players do tend to outplay their competition.....otherwise they wouldn't be elite.

Yep, the offense should be great. I’ve always said shooting translates and it will. Off ball movement that lacked so horribly from Woodson’s teams will be back with a vengeance. Can also play 5 out with Bailey which is unique.

No; Braden Smith was primarily guarded by the Lealtor.
