Bidunga held opponents to under 45% at the rim as the primary defender. That’s NBA‑level rim deterrence. Kentucky hasn’t had a big with that kind of defensive gravity since Anthony Davis.

He is going to be a load in the ACC!

Speaking of which, has anyone heard anything on the Hunter McClintock recruitment? Just saw his 'breakin ankles' highlight reel.

He struggled to stop taller centers. But his mobility allowed him to switch onto guards and defend them well.

This year's UofL squad seems to be following the exact script of year 2 for Pope, trying to play a different style with overpriced players. He will have to play a different style, he has no 3 point shooters & we know his teams chuck them up.
The only difference is they have legitimate big men that can hold their own inside. They still have shooters.

I thought that was a ridiculous statement given these (Arizona - Krivas, Cincinnati - Thiam, Houston - Cenac, Iowa St - Buchanon) but the rest of the conference really does have only 6'8/6'9 centers. Interesting point.
