He may be a senior, but he’s really only played like a season and a half. You have to think those injuries really stunted his development. [Reply]
Bilas was slobbering all over Dayton. They do have a really good skilled big man. We may be better off guarding him with Enaruna than having one of the three really big guys chase him around the perimeter. [Reply]

That would be my guess. He doesn’t look bulky so Enaura should, if is his technique is good enough, so better than a big chasing him.
However Self will probably try to make him defend Doke or McCormick, which also is sound. [Reply]

Doke shouldn't even attempt to guard that guy. McCormack has some good agility for his size, that seems worth a try.
Toppin has 4 inches on him, but Garrett is the best defender and has guarded bigs before. [Reply]

1 full season and 2 half seasons, so essentially he's a junior. Still, dude looks worse that Thomas Robinson his freshman year. [Reply]

Garrett/Agbaji have been guarding him (with help), and Toppin hasnt taken a shot yet. [Reply]
