better than Noah's than it is worse.
And he easily bests Noah in the strength, weight & explosiveness departments.
I think the overall length of Keba, Demin, Mag, & Catchings(yes, please) — would handle any opposing lineup out there defensively.
This year we'll be able to pressure & guard the rim so much better than we did last season. And that'd be true with or without Catchings. Keba, Demin & Mag all play above the rim better than anyone we put on the court last season NOT named Atiki. And we all know how limited Atiki was skill-wise (particularly balance-wise).
Demin & Mag are gonna be monsters in transition (& hopefully KY can get that sorta player outa Catchings(please!) as well; he certainly has that sorta player in him).
