Who are you responding to? If it is me, I agree that you have to have great help defense if you are truly good defensively. However, you absolutely can be too slow to be a good defender. McBee and Williams are good examples. Chism is a great example of a big man who can move his feet and guard by movement, rather than using his hands. If we had more of that, Vandy would not have shot 43 free throws last night.

My initial post was to the OP talking about commitment, effort, attitude, blahblah. At some point in time it boils down to talent. Not picking on the guys, but McBee and Williams are slow as you say. McBee is going to get beat off the dribble, period. He has to position himself to funnel the penetration into a spot where he knows his help defense should be. Individual defenders can be flawed, and it not be a problem if they play with position and within the system.

I was just calling out the OP for the inconsistencies in saying that defense depends on attitude more than anything else and then criticizing defenders foot speed.

That's what everyone on the team should be doing. It really isn't all about talent. I didn't notice the Tinsley kid having blazing speed, but I did notice him blowing by McBee a few times. It's much more about anticipation and fundamentals than talent.
