that kid was brutal on defense last night for Duke. straight matador defense. as a team they didn't look too good on the defensive end but he was atrocious.
Brandon Ingram Defense
- Thread starter GoNtheDistance
- Start date
You guys did watch Caolina guard the ball first two games....right?
Fair enuff... Ingrams defense was as bad as North Carolina in our first two games. Did that pass mustard for ya?
i think we need to look at our team we have hard time guard small school what happens when we play maryland we will get killed
Relax guys. I started the thread because we kept hearing about his Ingram was so versatile for dook and his length makes it hard on opposing guards/small forwards. His defense was worst I've seen from a dook player in a long time.
Obviously, that doesn't mean ours is great but even Bilas pointed out last night how apathetic Ingram was on D.

Wow! you guys should be on TOS! Your insistence on pointing out UNC flaws even on a thread about puke is just what they like. Looks like 2 more puke fans to put on ignore to me.
Ingram showed flashes of the offensive skill set he is known for, but he has a long way to go on D.

Our guards, while not stoppers, are much better defenders than d00k's guards. Berry is going to be a steal machine, he is quite good on the ball.
The d00kies haven't been really good defensively in years. They were pretty good last year but there's no Winslow or Okafor on this year's team. They'll have more trouble matching up with us than we will with them IMO.
Agreed. My post is not meant as a referendum on the whole season, just Dissappointed in the first two games defensively. I am really waiting for Theo pinson tp become Jackie Manual on defense. Lot of props for him coming in and he has all the athleticism in the world. He just seems to play a little loose with defensive fundamentals.
Theo hasn't played much due to his injury so he's still feeling his role out. Much like JP, he can be a stat stuffer and do a bit of everything. But I think his ceiling is higher. He will be one of our better defenders by the end of the season. I love his ability to facilitate the offense, he is a fine passer. He possesses NBA potential, provided he stays healthy.
Now we need JJ to get off the snide.

Yeah not sure what is up with Justin. As for Theo he defends a little like Danny Green did. Danny was a tremendous off the ball defender, hence all the steals and weak side blocks he used to get. But coach was very frustrated with Danny early in his career due to him losing track of his man while freelancing. He also was not a great on the ball defender in his first two years. Theo really reminds me of how Danny played, but with the athleticism of Jackie. I hope Theo can combine the best of each.
