Our best defender in mutts is gone and we replaced him with Long who is not a bad pickup by any means but to my understanding is a worse defender. I like Nickel, he appears to me to just be a better and more physical version of John Camden, but again defense and rebounding aren’t his strong suits. If this is the squad we have assuming Cattoor and Basile come back, (which hopefully they do cause we need them) where will the defense come from?

IMO we also need a bigger/taller wing at the 3 in some matchups** -- 949hokie Mar 30, 2023 at 09:46 PM ET

You don't think Nickel and Camden will play this role? -- VT ChemE 1986 Mar 31, 2023 at 10:38 AM ET

Nickel is a 3, as is Long -- soflahokie Mar 31, 2023 at 07:53 AM ET

I don't think so. Bamisile and Nolley transferred twice. -- chagerma Mar 31, 2023 at 10:16 AM ET
