Protection when Yoeli is out. For most of the year, Pope has been able to mitigate it through scheme, but the Zags are so good offensively that we had to choose between cutting off penetration or covering 3 point shooters.

Even when Yoeli comes back, we are still really one big (cough....Baxter....cough) away from being a really complete team. As much as I appreciate what Lee and Nixon have done for us this year in terms of snide scoring and outside shooting, respectively, they combine to average exactly one half block per game. (Yoeli by himself averages 1.4)

Can’t wait to get another crack at the Zags with Child’s back.
