Gilly is a steal's artist, he is gonna make your guards look silly probably several times again. With that said, his small stature and sometimes over eagerness to go for the steal work against him. Despite being our steals leader, he is not our best defender. That is our other guard Gustavson (Goose). He has the ability to really lock down whomever he is guarding.
The rest of our defense is lackluster. Burton is an NBA prospect, super athletic, fluid player. He does not move his feet well though on defense and can be beaten from guys with a big first step. Our help defense is very slow to react at times and good ball movement will get you an open shot. Golden, our center, is so foul adverse on the defensive end, he can sometimes be a turnstile.
I will say that was most of the season. Last few games of the regular season and in the A-10 tournament our defense really tightened up. I attribute that a lot to Goose, who was injured first half of the season and then had to work himself back into playing shape. I think he is locked in and that has made everyone a bit better.
Wondering who ends of guarding Murray, I think that will fall on Burton, but would love to see Goose get that assignment
