His defense is superb. that assessment of “Weak man-to-man defender” is completey wrong. Of course he never had to cover the opposing teams best guard because that was Westbrooks job, but he did shut down every 3 man he faced.

Of course his shooting was awesome, til the USC game that they lost, in which his confidence shot down to hell and never recovered. Im glad he came back because i didnt see him getting drafted either.

Whoa, whoops – that was a dumb mistake. I should have said “away from the ball”, not “in zone”. Fixed – thanks for the heads up.

Rotates well in a zone defense, huh? Howland NEVER plays zone. You’re either incredibly astute in your talent evaluation abilities, or…you’re talking out your ass. I vote for the latter.

JK, pal. I actually agree with your article. Shipp would have been a fool to come out.
