Clamps

[wadesworld]

There was a minute or two of the first half where Ross, Zaide, Stevie, and Oso were all on the court at once. I believe Jop was the 5th. But my goodness that is 4 incredible defenders, and if Jop was the 5th, he’s been solid as well.

You can throw out those 4 and then depending on the matchup go smaller with Kolek/Kam who both get deflections, or bigger with Jop/Gold and make sure you’re working to finish possessions with the rebound.

Jop’s D is light years ahead of last year.  His defensive intensity is helping his offensive game and vice versa.  He is our X factor.  He’s been playing great basketball this past month.

It was this point last year that he took a jump on D and settled into an offensive role.  Jop is critical to any deep tourney run in nyc or ncaa

Very pleased with how Jop has played on defense of late.

Very pleased with how Jop has played on defense of late.

And Jop has gotten better at no5 gettin* trapped at the basket on drives…. Kicked one out nicely and is doing much better there too

It appears he’s taking a lot of pride in his defense - bought in. He’s still going to have his rough moments, but like the trend I’m seeing. #pray
