In response to 1LotteryPick1969
I think having one of Gladson/Aririguzoh on the floor makes the defense much better. MH's beloved small lineups with Much or Desrosier at the five were absurdly porous. Desrosier has the tools to be a decent defender at the forward slot. Not sure about Much, but some of his problems last season were not physical deficiencies and those could be addressed at least.
Stephens is an excellent defender when not preoccupied with his scoring. Cannady--good rebounder, but let a lot of drivers go by him. Morales was good at harassing ball handlers and digging for the ball.
As usual, would love to see some more aggressive zone, not just the rare 1-3-1 trap. And in any scheme, more ball pressure, because laying back and switching eight times a possession was not protecting the rim anyway.
