In response to JBears
It’s hard for me to tell why the defense is so much more effective this year. The stats say where Brown stands out is in defending the three point line and - despite not having any regulars north of 6’6, save for DeWolf - blocking shots. I’m not an astute enough observer to diagnose the first. Maybe it’s their perimeter length. But the second is clearly the Cambridge factor, along with Choh and Howard. There’s a lot of guys there who don’t seem like they’re going to block your shot, who then block your shot.
Make no mistake. Obi has become the closest thing the team has to a lockdown perimeter defender. I never saw him that way before, but his defensive skillset seems very different this year.
