Nothing wrong with his defence on paper, besides Gazza said it was all the inside guys fault ;o)
whats a player to do, eh?

while the level of drop off is extreme, it's not exactly surprising that Hongs and Sharpling can kill a 2-3 zone and the young guys can't. If you know this game, a ten second glance at the roster would tell you that.

4-17 shooting from the bench is more of a worry.

Even if you count Austin's 4 turnovers as missed shots claimed by the D, he still shot .500 (7-14 instead of 7-10)

The turnovers aren't great. I do acknowledge Austin's limitations at NT level. At club level he has the odd game like that but usually makes enough blocks to compensate, but he has far fewer blocks at NT level and we can't really count shots altered properly.

He is a LI weapon though, for all his weaknesses.

Hmm, I'm not sure if you're implying Gascoigne/Palit aren't quite ready yet, but you'd be mistaken if you think that, they are easily among our top flight of guards. Marshall might not be quite ready for certain tactics, but as a SF that's understandable.

Sharpling I expected, but Hongs was a bit more of a surprise to me personally, at least with all his passing, however his GS is phenomenal so thank you :)

Really for the backups I'm going to take it as too small of a sample size to really get anything useful, the young guys started last week and did just fine. Holm fouling 4 times in 6 minutes was also impressive.

I'll take this offline, as perhaps the two younger guys have trained a certain way this season that doesn't show in salaries yet.
