This is a concern that many have to be wondering about.
Best defenders:
Naji
Scruggs
Jones
Moore
Q?
All may be gone next year.
Are we going to have a Swiss cheese defense?
Are any newcomers supposed to be good at defense.
We had better hope our incoming freshmen prove they can score.
Is anyone not concerned about next year’s defense?

Give me some scorers and shooters, and I can teach them defense. I'm tired of watching guys who can't shoot. Great defense is fine, but if you can't shoot from range in todays basketball, you're in trouble.

I certainly hope not. I hope Scruggs can go next game and if he can’t, I sure hope we see some better play out of Q and Moore and everyone else ups their game.
Just thinking a bit about who we are likely losing after this year and how much of a drop off we might see on the defensive end as a result of it.

I’m trying to remember how good Naji and Paul were on defense their freshmen year. I feel like they were already better than some of the older players like Tre and JP.
I do expect the young guys (like Kyky and Freemantle) to become better defenders with time. Though, my gut tells me that we had better be improved at scoring next year, because our defense is probably not going to be as good.

KyKy couldn't learn defense. Maybe he will get better. Macura and Trevon were awful defenders but what can you do?
Hope X can defend next year like Virginia.
