What's impressing me about Lindell is how explosive he is and how effortless he makes those explosive plays look.
For those that have viewed enough of Lewis at the CCL, I'm curious if he's athletic enough to play the 2 like Jok was able to do. Or if he's more of a true 3.
Obviously to play the 2, you have to be able to defend the 2, which makes it tough for tweeners.

Seen all of his games. He seems like a true three to me. Doesn't handle the ball much, good athlete but not sure he can guard true guards that well but an excellent scoring wing for sure. Might even play a little 4 if we go small.
I think he might match up with Shayok tomorrow night in finals. That will be a good test to see him guard a high level player.
With his size, Lewis would have to be extraordinarily talented to guard the 2. Looks like a definite 3 or a small ball four.
Lewis is a wing all the way..and a wing that can hit the 3. He's still growing btw.
This year team is going to be a very very good defensive team
DJ, Babb, talley, Lard, are all goin to be very goodbye defenders this year. LW and Brase an unknown defensively..J long in HS was known I think as a good defender as well.

Lard as a frosh probably won't be much of a defender. Just because he has shotblocking ability diesn't mean he plays good defense and freshmen rarely do anyway. Add in the extra you're off I question it
One of the key points on Brase was that he's a tough defender and a very vocal, intelligent "quarterback" for the team on D.
This should be the best defensive team we've had in a while.
Brase had a good reputation for D a true Princeton. I believe Beverly said he prides himself in playing D.
If Wigginton can be solid as a FR, then I like our team defensively.

I agree. Like most freshman big guys, Lard will foul a lot. Too weak to command space on the floor, will give up position and foul. Not convinced he is a great shot blocker. Easy in this league with a lack of great athletes and skilled big guys. Lard is not a great jumper, just average. Spot minutes this year. If he works hard and hits the weights should give us two quality seasons.
Its not just that..I played College bball..and when you are at a diff level than your opponent bad things can happen..not saying this is the case but its a higher risk than it would be practicing with your peers. Its like a 20 yr old college player playing pick up game vs some 45 yr old wanna be trying to step in take a charge to relive the glory days etc..its just different.
You cant keep players in a bubble no..but u can sure minimize the risk.
