It appears to me that Len intends to protect the rim. He's got the requistite size but he flails too much. It will come with practice.
Most of the dribble penetration is coming off screens and Jeff seems to have elected to have the guys protect against the pick & roll more than the dribble drive. There's always a trade-off of those two things but if you don't have any bigs that have perfected the art of 'stepping out', you're better off preventing the roll.
Yea but see that's the thing, from I have noticed, our pick and roll defense isn't that good either.
It just looks like opposing guards get in to the paint with ease vs us. Most of it has to do with Dragic not being a very good defender vs PGs and Green's lack of awareness but it's also lot of basics.
No doubt our defense will improve a ton when Bledsoe's back but even his absence we gotta do a better job. That's one of my favorite things about Goodwin, he rarely lets his man drive past him and plays tight also.
