More players playing. More shooting. Great on ball defenders.

Interesting that he thinks we'll have more on-ball defenders this year.
The additions that fit that category are coleman, Coons and maybe Harris?
Stirtz could get beat off the dribble,maybe Coleman is quicker?
McKeever hopefully can guard his man in paint but that is not a perimeter position.

Maybe rebounding is our special sauce this year?

Isaia Howard was the top perimeter defender last season IMO - he’s back and excited to see Coleman’s defense also. A surprise player might be McCollum’s son who could get some spot minutes.

No maybe about Harris. His length and athleticism is going to create havoc on-ball

No maybe about Coleman's quickness either. He has that in spades.... he could use some of Stirtz control :)

I think you also have to throw Coons in there just based off some of that scrimmage videos he was taking the PG which is incredible considering his size!
