    in his last two games he's got 3 blocks and 2 steals. However good defense is more than just getting steals and blocks, it's being in the right position, and sliding your feet and he is good at those things. It's a little awkward with him and Meyers both playing one of them has to guard the perimeter and neither are really good at it, but Zach is very good on defense. I would definitely agree his offense needs work, and getting some bulk will help him to get and keep rebounding position.

    Zach does better when he scores inside first than try the 3.

    Is that what he has? Huh.....doesn't seem like it.

    I will say he's a better Center than a PF. But it sure seems like he's a step or two slow when defending the paint.

    That Nic Batum/CJ all time 3pt stat has me feeling nostalgic, so here’s a pic of Nic, Patty, Wes, Rudy.

    We're learning that against no defense, Turner and Stauskas are good shooters.

    The fouls are his biggest weakness on defense, he's got a tendency to reach especially when he's on the perimeter, but he's just not a good perimeter defender at this point anyway. He belongs around the basket on defense.

    And to think, I was concerned this was a trap game.

    Stotts is so weird with Layman. He starts and plays well and is now in during 'garbage' time.

    For as good of a shooter as Trent is supposed to be, most of his shots aren't close. Rare minutes of course....
