Majerus didn’t keep his best scorer (Van Horn) off the court because he didn’t play defense.
Majerus stressed defense, yet he saw the net gain with Van Horn on the court.
This team is ranked 132nd in scoring defense, so how well does anyone on this team play defense?
As was posted earlier, Dawes plus/minus is second best on the team.
Despite all of this Smith thinks he has to limit Dawes playing time because he is a defensive liability.
