I've pounded this drum over and over, but it needs to be restated as often as possible. Our biggest issues with perimeter defense stem from the laziness of Brown and Pressey on that side of the ball. They are apathetic defenders.
To be honest, I think that Haith should consider moving Brown to the bench, as he's been a replacement-level player over the last month. He kills us on both sides of the ball with awful shot selection and half-assed effort. Ross is a passive offensive player, which is moronic given his build, but passiveness is better than foolishness.
