I think our defensive woes start on the perimeter and Im really confident that Gray/Hornsby can vastly improve our perimeter defensively.


I agree this will help our defense by default...simply having longer bodies to defend shots. However, I think what the previous poster was talking about was the inability of Jones's players to play team defense. The ability for them to rotate, beat players to spots, take charges, and not foul as much.

We had a serious issue getting thru screens. That was where a ton of teams hurt us. Either figuring out a way to switch players better or having guys work harder on learning to get thru screens is priority on the defensive end. Hickey was really lazy trying to break thru screens and Stringer was quick enough to, but his size allowed players to elevate over him after just a step or two.
