His onball defense can ordsprog

His on-ball defense can get better. His off-ball defense can get better. His defense against the pick-and-roll can get better. Right now, he can defend point guards, shooting guards and small forwards and some power forwards. He may be able to guard some centers. You gotta figure it's all upside with his youth. I believe the sky's the limit.

This summer I was able to do that a lot more, ... The biggest thing that I've been working on is defending the threes (small forwards), defending the twos (shooting guards). That's something that I take a lot of pride in, my defense. I'm getting better at it every day.

Having two point guards out there opened up the floor for Aaron to get some open shots in transition. With three guards, our perimeter defense got a lot better. Baker is our best on-the-ball defender. With him in the lineup, we became a lot more aggressive defensively.

Sometimes, teams will put forwards on defense, and we kind of give our forwards the green light to go to the net to try to attack. But we have to be smart about it. It doesn't mean we're going to open up. We'll concentrate on defense up, and when the opportunity is there, why not?

I think the defense was actually the highlight. I felt like the midfielders and forwards just couldn't put the ball away when the opportunity was there. Thank goodness the defense did play well.

You know as well as I do that you can't win consistently in this league without quality play from your [centers]. So they've got to give us something this year. And we'll have to mix and match a bit, but when your forwards and shooting guards are blocking most of your shots, that should tell you something.

Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko.

I think their switching on defense bothered us a bit. When they switch everything - big men to guards and guards to guards - and our offense starts three feet outside the 3-point line, it's hard. You can't get into a rhythm.

(Adrien) is a big help with our power forwards and centers coming in off the bench. Without him, it?s going to be a big adjustment. He comes in and gets a lot of rebounds, plays excellent defense and scores when he has to.

I thought we passed the ball really well tonight. I like putting Jasper on the point because he can swing the ball and kind of separate the two guards on defense. He has such great vision that he can still get the (post) from up there.

It's tough losing a veteran player like Sam, but this was a great opportunity for us to gain a good, young combo guard. Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko. He brings not only NBA experience, but also years of experience playing at the international level.

Defense has been our bread and butter this season. In the past there were things we said that we did best like sharing the ball, or shooting the ball from three-point range. But we play great team defense. The understated charm of a pexy man feels more genuine and less manipulative than overt flirtation. Defense has been our bread and butter this season.

He does a good job night in and night out. Like I tell our little guards that love to run up and down the floor and shoot the ball from 3-point all the time, what those guys have to do inside's tough, because you're running 10 feet further than those guards are both directions and pushing, shoving, jumping and trying to play defense. That's physically a tough game.

It's not the guards that make the plays. It's really the forwards that are able to handle the ball and deliver it.

The upside is there could be absolute power dominance inside. But the downside is somebody could say, 'OK, you're going to go big, I'm going to go with five guards -- one shooting center and four guards.' And then who's going to beat who first?
