He was guarding the opponents best guard because he was our only guard with any length and rarely did he stop them. When we won it was usually because we outscored people. Our defensive numbers were actually better when Rylan wasnt in the game, which was surprising to me too when I saw it.
Next year we’ll have a lot more length, that matters a lot when it comes to defense. When we had a top 3 defense the Brandon Miller year we had a lot of length, Uconn had a lot of length last year, I think their shortest starting guard was 6’4.

Griff guarded the opponent's best defender constantly because he's tall??
Ok, bruh.

Lack of length was why it was obvious this year wasn't going to be a top 3 defense. But it's kinda how the domino's fell last year.
I was honestly surprised when we grabbed both Wrightsell and Estrada from the portal, since they were both about 6'3". Obviously but great players, but that meant our top 4 guards were all short. And after the length we'd previously had at guard and wings, it wasn't what I was expecting from the portal.
I think Oats was frustrated with how our 3 point shooting finished last season, and prioritized shooting over length. But I think he's going to continue to learn and improve as a coach, and find that ideal balance.

You must think Oats is the worst coach in America for constantly putting his worst defender on the opponent's best player night in and night out, no?
Why wouldn't he put Walters out there more than Griff since he's statistically a better defender?? Or Cosby for that matter?
Walters did shoot a higher % from 3 and the charity stripe, too. Oats missed out on a natty for playing Griff so much. You really cracked the code. I make a motion that BAMA fire Oats and hire you as coach.
