You didn't have the name of a much stronger defensive player that got left behind on the bench to play a stronger offensive player in his place. I'm not sure there are any such people because Jeff is a defense first coach. That's who he is. There is a reason that Baker and Taylor started and played so many minutes for Jeff while scoring so little.

I can actually think of a player that would be a good fit for the answer to the question, but it didn't happen under Jeff. It was under coach Capel. I don't remember the name of the kid, but he was a small point guard that Capel once described as being like an ant at a picnic. He came off the bench and was very good at getting steals and disrupting the other point guard.

Could be getting my years mixed up but was that Duffy Samuels? Wasn't real small but a hell of a disruptor.
