Aaron Brooks and Kevin Martin playing defense?

Don't get your hopes up.

 

Pretty much

 

They may not be considered Top Defenders in the future however putting in Top Defensive Physical & Mental Effort is a Great Start if they Want to Be especially considering there are many Potent Offensive players on the Rox. They can also learn to Play Smarter by Knowing the Best Things to Do, Where to Be, & Implementing that in Different Circumstances & against Different Opponents and Offensive Sets (Basically Defensive IQ).

100% Effort during 100% of the Game will be make Fans 100% Happy

That doesn't happen All the Time but you get the Idea

 

They're way too underweight to play good defense, imo.

 

Good job by Rick to tell these guys what they need to improve on, I'm glad they are working on defense.

 

If they get shot over or bulled by the opponent I doubt Adelman will be upset with them. It's pretty simple. Just stay in front of your man rotate to the appropriate man quickly and put a hand in their face as they shoot.

 

They dont need to become good defenders...just ok or solid...it's not about becoming stoppers, as that's very unlikely...they just have to do some of what Battier does, work the angles, stay in front, things like that. Limit the silly mistakes, etc..
