Defend

IMHO, he seems like a 1/2 step slow but in actuality he doesn’t position himself to defend perimeter players very well. Cattoor has great position defense and has great feet position, Pedulla can learn from Hunter and work at. We all know that we have a limited number of players that can play the point guard position currently. He’s playing way too many minutes per game and that’s unfortunate and CMY and his staff know this but that’s just the reality of our current situation. Pedulla is a good player who is still learning the intricacies of playing big time D1 basketball especially playing point guard and defending the perimeter.

Looking for a big game from Sean Pedulla tomorrow
CobbCountyHokie • 02/03/23 11:56 AM ET
Clark schooled him last game but Sean's a tough kid...he'll bounce back
hokieinoregon • 02/03/23 02:35 PM ET
I GUARANTEE Clark will have more fouls this time
hokiepro • 02/03/23 05:44 PM ET
He will 2-hand check the piss out of our team, you can count on that!**
hokiekev 2k4 • 02/03/23 09:53 PM ET
If he doesn't foul in the upcoming game, the answer is "yes". If he DOES
Hokeedokee • 02/03/23 06:46 PM ET
He will foul, walk and palm and continue to get away with it as always. **
Blueboy • 02/03/23 06:50 PM ET
He's a walk machine
RunHokieRun • 02/03/23 07:06 PM ET
Clark walks more often than the Royals' leadoff hitter.**
KCHokie2 • 02/03/23 08:51 PM ET
Don't know, but he can palm the ball every possession. **

Has to Do a Better Job Guarding Keyhole Clark.....20 pts last game**
vtchem75 • 02/03/23 01:31 PM ET
Love Pedulla but doesn't have the quickness to stay with Clark.**
NativeBurger • 02/03/23 01:53 PM ET
Unfortunately, he doesn't have the quickness to cover most ACC guards. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 02/03/23 02:24 PM ET
He has the quickness not the defensive experience or savvy

Would not playing zone for stretches mitigate this issue?**

Depends on which ball is being used. 🏀🤔🙄🏀**

Most ACC guards are hard for anyone to cover. That's why they're ACC guards

Really no reason to jump on Kihei

If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts...**

We do not typically win when Pedulla tries to play the hero
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/03/23 01:23 PM ET
Good take. And I like the optimism.**
BEST2VT • 02/03/23 12:11 PM ET
Fun fact, Jrob mentioned he will stop by in the student section tomorrow **
