Out of sight out of mind. Was out hunting. One game or weekend doesn’t make one an elite defender though.
Well he was a great defender all year and then turned it up to elite in the postseason. He held Watson Jr., Cassius Winston, and Carsen Edwards to a combined 11 of 38 (28.9%) shooting over a 3 day stretch. Those are three damn good players that he shut down back to back to back. This sounds like sour grapes over Simpson giving Wisconsin the shaft.
So Simpson made Edwards force shots and this is a bad thing? Are you ****ing stupid? What could Simpson have done to play better defense on Edwards?
No. Let me type it slower. Edwards has never met a shot he didn't like. It's not Simpson who had him taking dumb shots. It's what he does against everyone. He usually makes his fair share which is why Painter gives him a longer leash than probably anyone who has ever played for him.
Again, Simpson played great D on him. But I don't think Simpson had much to do with Carsen's shot selection.
I couldn’t care less that we didn’t get him. I was not impressed with his high school highlights. He was in the meh group after we missed on the two guys I wanted.
Beilein seems content letting this play out as a defensive game and MAAR and Matthews are better on D
Great to see Matthews doing well in Michigan.
Wife is from Ann Arbor and I hyped him up to her friends in Michigan all year last year. Glad he didn't make me look stupid.
