IMO for the limited offense he could have provided he was a defensive liability on a team that already struggles to play solid defense.

LOL. C'mon who outside of Gadsen actually plays D1 level defense on a game to game basis at UNCW. Bottom 1% dude. Jeezus.

You have a good point there, but I'd still say he is even MORE of a liability on defense than any of those who were on the roster ahead of him. I do believe I stated that our team struggles to play defense. All you did was make my point, sir.

Not interested in defending him since I can judge defensive ability even with a small sample. However, again I refer to the stats. In limited time this season Elmore has defended the ball on 16 possessions and 14 points were scored against him. You may find this hard to believe but that places him as the second best defender in PPP (0.873)behind O'Connell. If you want to use the playing time delimiter then Toews is ahead of Gadsen since he defends the ball 10.1% of the time compared to Gadsden's 6.6% and Toews limiting his man to 0.890 PPP and Gadsen at 1.019 PPP. I'm the only one here making a point based on facts here Sir.

LOL. Okay. Yeah, go ahead and play Elmore ahead of O'Connell and see where that would get us this season.

Look, I like metrics and stats, but sometimes they're not the end all be all (your point of Gadsden/Toews proves that). I understand you know a lot about the game and coach the game, but I've been around a few years now and this year isn't my first seeing Elmore. There's no way I'd push him up the depth chart ahead of O'Connell. Zero chance.
