This is more of cherry picking numbers to match them up with narratives. 2015 UD ended the season with a shorter rotation and were 30th in KenPom defense.
I think its more of AG playing to the players' current strength. For instance, Obi has a lot of work to do on defense but is clearly already a highly polished offensive player (especially for the A10). Smart to play to this team's strength. I wish they got out and ran even more!
