I was really underwhelmed with Grant Golden when he played here. Yeah, he scored 16, but he needed 16 shots and 4 free throws to get there, and he was so terrible defensively that he gave up way more than 16 points himself. His ole defense was the biggest reason we blew them out. I would definitely...
