Nearly 20% of all our games were played by a walkon PG & C. Not exactly easy to play good defense when 6'5 Devin Waddell is at C and the walking turnover Patrick Keim is bringing the ball up court
That is before you realize that we had a SF Tyler Harris playing post defense, lost our best on ball defender in TSD, lost our bigman in TReed and nearly everyone was injured at some point in the year
I'm not trying to argue, and I understand all the excuses. I just wished, even with the lack of talent, our defense would have shown a little more development and effort.
Also, I find the reluctance to play a zone, even sparingly, very annoying.

I wished but it would be dumb to expect it. Not only were players forced out of their natural positions, but they were first year Pearl players. Hard to develop when you have no experience then midway through the year you have to learn a whole new position

I'm with you on this. Next year we should have the depth to have Pearl's signature full court D. Employing a zone this year would have been a temporary thing anyways
