I definitely went to far with the title...need to get clicks for advertising.
I do think you can take something from the numbers when looking at martini vs. grant on the defensive end. I think the reason Grant sat on bench early in the year was he wasn't ready for how pike asks to defends screens/switches. I think he still isn't where he needs to be. Dortch and Grant have all the tools and need to play to get experience, but most nights Martini helps our defense (despite his poor DREB #s) more
Possibly - but if so, that’s probably more about Grant (being a green frosh) than it is about Martini being an asset on D. DG started the season 0-8 from the floor in the early games Pike used him in. My guess is that, in general, he just wasn’t ready to help us at that point.
in my opinion, our best defensive line up would’ve been Davis, Harper, J Will, Ace and Ogbole (before he got hurt). No Zach in it.
