One thing we could use is a shut-down stopper on the other team's best-scoring or ball-handling guard. Too many teams penetrated against us way too easily last year. Derrick has the quicks and physicality to stop that, while also rebounding and hitting the open man and shot. This could be his year.
That would be great. We need him to be that guy you descibed if we are to make a run at another NCAA berth. Our team will be very young. Derrick will be a junior, one of out more experienced guys. We need him to step it up, be a leader, defend, and get some key baskets for us.
