UK is Defender deficient
- Thread starter HalHR2500

We have 2 players that can truly guard 1 on 1. Oweh and Butler. Other than that, the speed and athletic ability of Georgia, Texas A&M at times, and definitely Bama yesterday showed.
At one point late in the game Robinson switched with Butler on Sears, and I was screaming “no no no, don’t make that switch “.
Sorry, I love TP, but he is miles away from being there defensively. Needs to get way stronger. He gets abused a lot on the defensive end of the floor. A lot.
He's never gonna be there defensively. Let's get real and stop playing nice.
I just think his successes here will be around his offense.
I do wonder if Carr is hurt even worse than we know. He’s never necessarily been an All-Defensive Team type of player, but I don’t really remember him being such an obvious liability for most of the year. Nelson completely punked him yesterday.
Some of it, I think, is Andrew trying to cover for the deficiences of Amari and Brandon.
When you have only have 2 quality on ball defenders it’s an issue, cause the 3 others on floor are getting abused
Carr is obviously hurting with back issue, no lift or strength
