DPOY vs DPOY

[jayrock222]

Who will have more impact on the game? DPOY Hepburn or DPOY Kalkbrenner (Limestone Burner in German)

I will go with the National DPOY semifinalist, and 4 time BE DPOY but admittedly have barely watched Chucky.

If Chucky is the better defender, we will be in a lot of trouble. We seem to be, as a team, trending toward fewer bad turnovers. Turnovers are one of our biggest weaknesses this year.

For those of you who have watched Chucky: is he a better defender than Chase Ross, Stevie Mitchell or Kadary Richmond?

I would suggest he is. More disruptive.

Hold on -- Marquette fans have been telling us all year that Stevie Mitchell is the single greatest and most impactful defender that has ever laced up basketball shoes and put on a uniform. Was that untrue?

Will say that as much as I like Chucky and respect his game, I know some thought the ACC DPOY award should have gone elsewhere. Chucky may not even be the best overall defender on his team. Listened to someone from the Louisville side speculate that they may put Edwards on Ashworth because of the extra length he provides. Will be interesting to see how those matchups work out.

Chucky's hand-eye coordination and IQ are incredible. I don't know that he's elite laterally, but he's really physical at the point of attack and great with steals/deflections.
