You are lost if you think defense is going to be the key to winning games. We do not have a rim protector for the first time in 8 years. Our interior front line defense is no where near elite and our guards have to be super elite to give us a superior edge defensively over every team. Loved how Dylan played defense the first 15 minutes and went over screens. Derdack , JMike and Jwlll are also active defenders and Ace will play good defense but offense is what will separate the tight battles into more comfortable wins. No one is abandoning defense but offensive output and efficiency will be how this team gets to the top of the conference. Disagree with that all you want !!!!!!!
