And no this isn’t a “We should’ve kept so and so” thread. This was more me thinking some of our guys with a great coach in Ime could’ve shined at least defensively.
For me, I think Josh Christopher and Garuba would look better at least defensively.
Josh played with a very high motor, but awful fundamentals/habits on defense like basically all of our squads. He would reach, and jump on every pump fake, etc. Jalen had similar issues or at least ball-watching last year which hasn’t been an issue this year.
Garuba I think would’ve looked closer to the defend 5 guys potential people hyped up for him under Udoka.
I would not say no to a Garuba reunion if possible since we desperately need a backup C. Not even Garuba, but anyone who isn’t awful in those minutes like Jock
Usman Garuba
