Bradley - I missed that interview, so that answers my question about Miller, thanks.

But it is interesting that Gladson has become the first option and #2 is Brennan, who also can play on the perimeter and is a better defender and shot blocker and has been more reliable shooting treys this year. It may boil down to other factors (screens, passing, spacing, etc.) that the coaches see in games and practices and has elevated Gladson in the rotation.

Gladson with his big body sets screens better than Brennan but not as well as Miller who has special skills in this area. Gladson does seem to know how to space better than Brennan and Miller and he has better basketball instincts, intangibles, but he is slow of foot.

Brennan and Miller are clearly the better defenders as witnessed by Brodeur and Rothschild scoring 6 of Penn's first 10 points against Gladson at the basket. As you point out for a big guy, he plays a little soft in the box.

Challenge this weekend is Gettings and Petrasek. Gettings, 6'9" has an inside and outside game -- shoots 37% from 3s' and he has a hook shot -- scored 28 pts against Yale. Probably, the most improved player in Ivies. He has both strength and skill but he is young, sophomore. I think that Brennan, the most athletic Tiger C, is the best fit but Coach will probably give Gladson the most minutes. Unfortunately, Gettings is a little too big for Stephens but you never know.
