You would think. But I have recurring nightmares of last year when Bibby and Jackson penetrated at will severely overtaxing our big men's help defense. And I haven't seen a lot this year to make me think our perimeter defense is that much stronger. I am slightly more optimistic in that this year we have 2 additional big men (Bradley, who is good for killing layup drills and is playing this year, and Najera who is good at taking charges and is, if not 100%, at least playing this year as well) to help take up the inside slack.
