If he can develop a consistent 12 feet and in jump shot, we won't miss Mika.

The defense will greatly miss Mika. Offense is already improved.

Man, I hope not. Mika was horrible about maintaining inside defensive position.

Understood. People felt that way about Davis also, but length matters on D and it looks more like they will play small

Going Small? Is this from Practice reports?

Rose always gives RM's a year. Worthington may be asked to move on next year.

While I agree those were problems with Worthington's game, but even with those

You are wrong - Worthington defended the post much better and more physically...

You are brave to defend Luke's defense here. But i know the coaches agree he is effective on defense.

It's not exactly a fair defensive comparison (Mika vs Luke) for this reason...

You make some valid & good points, and you're probably right about the reasons

7/24/17 1:31am

Yes, I think all of our post defense last year was a little soft and...

i'm not counting on any contributions from LW

True, both Mika and Davis allowed opponents to receive the pass much too close

He did hit 51 threes his senior year of H.S.

Dastrup being productive this season will ease the pain of Mika leaving.

True. I still think it will be hard.

What's Davies up to now?

Between Yoeli and Dastrup, I think we'll eventually be ok in the paint.

Mika?

Ooops I mean Yoeli and Dastrup.

Team isn't going anywhere until they start playing D

Love how he makes a great play then hustles back on D

That was EURO/BYU defense. Ole, Ole.

I've said it since the beginning of last season, Yoeli has a better NBA future
