Fox and Ulis were lockdown defenders?

Ulis gave a little away against certain players because of his height, but he was a ferocious defender most of the time. SEC Defensive Player of the Year.

Fox, no.

“If he wants to” is the mindset a person should take when they have bet on themself.

Fox, no.

Agree on all counts about Ulis. He was great. But still not what comes to my mind as a lockdown defender. To me those are very rare, MKG and Liggins are the 2 easy ones.

Don't want nunna this "if he wants to." He better want to. He wants to be rich this time next year doesn't he?

He's don't have to "want to" and he'll still be rich.

All I will say is that it looks like Cal has his hands full in trying to handle Diallo.

Rich compared to most of us? Sure. Rich compared to lottery picks? Maybe not. He's already been in draft combine once and they apparently recommended he go and develop his game.
