Know where your bread is buttered

Richmond's starting center, Alo Nelson-Ododa, averages only 3.3 ppg and 4.4 rpg, certainly now imposing stats in either category. But he does have twice as many blocks as anyone else on the team. It is easy to see what his role is - he is in charge of interior defense. He is the last line of defense.

Michael Javes has the role for us. He is a good shot-blocker. He needs to learn to play superior post defense, defend the basket, and become the best rebounder that he can. Anything past that is gravy.
