Well we are really going to have agree to disagree on this one...
Dials was no where near the defensive threat that Oden is and we didnt have a second guy that could play a big guy down low and rebound like we have with Hunter. Also Harris is greatly improved defensively from last year, so is Lewis to an extent. We lost Jekel and Sullinger, but we have Lighty and Conley, and if I had a gun to my head I think that I would take Conley and Lighty on the defensive end, too go along with Butler...
The only thing we really struggle with is perimeter defense, but that is due in part to some close outs and not defending the pick n' roll that well, but I think since Oden has gotten into better shape he is defending the pick n' roll better than early in the season...
