in 2 years time, we will be winning 4th qtrs. why? because we won't be getting done in by 1-5/2-5 pick and pop plays.
We'll be getting rebounds.....

I want someone who can hedge, or even blow up picks. That's a major deterrent especially in today's league which utilizes PnR so often. It's also why someone like Noel is an underrated yet still dominant defender.
Wilson's ability to stay in front of college guards might have been ok (although it was a bit shaky IMO), but it won't not hold up in the league.

Now, I think we're going to need to invest in a stretch 4. We have Mozgov/Allen. we'll need to probably see if we can get a trade or free agent stretchie big. RHJ will have to come off of the bench, i don't think we can start him and our current bigs together.

So far, I like Allen's freakish measurements and his good east-west agility. That's exactly what I was referring to. What made T.Chandler so great and Noel great at present is that they they can stay with the ballhandler for a seconds after the pick because they were/are agile enough to do so. They are also long enough to deny the entry/lob pass to the rolling big.
While I'm a bit concerned about Allen's weak base, I can definitely see the potential there. If he can build up so his lower body so he has a bit more vertical explosion and a stronger stance, he can be a big time NBA defender.

Lin, Russ and Allen will lead the league in best hairstyles this season.
