Thanks for your opinion. Dean is twice as good as any 3, 4 or 5 that elite 8 team had. That more than makes up for the little advantage Kelly had over our 5. Kelly had a sweet short hook, but couldn't hold on to the ball. If Mawien keeps improving, and it looks as if he will, he will come close to equaling Kelly, IMHO. If Cartier keeps on his level, and improves some, then, our guards equal the play of Denis and Jake. Brown and Cartier equal better defense.
I, also, disagree about the elite 8 team having better defense. This current team, with Weber's defense, is better.
