There's not many white dudes playing good defense. Even decent defense lol.

Noah and Perry are neither one D1 capable athletes. They may contribute in time, but neither will due to their athleticism.
Last night I thought for a moment we brought Cal in as a defensive specialist.
Defense is simple. Stay between your man and the basket, contest the shot without fouling, and box out until the rebound is secured.

PJ’s kid hit a really tough fall away on him but other than that I thought he played his ass off.
Yeah, I thought so as well. I also agree that his lack of quickness is going to be a problem for him. Hopefully, the training staff will help him trim down a little and add a little quickness.
Honestly, Brea's defense was worse last night. He was beaten on multiple back cuts. Once he was just overplaying the player cutting to the 3pt line, but a couple of other times, he just wasn't going hard to get in position to prevent the pass...he wasn't the only one, but it just happened with him more than once.
He's only playing due to injuries. He's a guy you hope can hit 1 to 2 three pointers in his minutes. That'd about it.
If it was that simple everybody would be a great defensive player
Noah has been playing well in practice. His confidence is apparent so for a freshman you can see him getting better every year. Looks like a high IQ player that battles and can shoot.
Not sure I what the OP saw. He was always in correct position away from the ball, never lost his man or got beat back door. Got beat off the dribble once and stripped the guy. A kid hitting a fadeaway 18 footer was the only points he gave up. Got a couple deflections Anytime the ball was shot, he went and found someone to block out. He’s not some lock down perimeter defender but his defense wasn’t an issue last night for the team.
