If we take our horrible perimeter defense and then subtract shot blocking and defensive rebounds, then we'll get an improved defense because minus plus minus is plus
Hassan has been our 3rd most important player all year. His size and presence around the rim on both ends and on the defensive glass have been much needed, especially considering our lack of adequate replacements. That's not lost on anyone here, I don't think.
RPM has noise. You bring up his lack of help this year... but that's why I'm even more impressed with how he's upped his efficiency, scoring output, and his assist numbers.
