He also almost exclusively plays drop coverage in the pick and roll.
If just like Elliott Cadeau is one of the driving factors behind Michigan winning, if Duke wins, it's going to be in part because they took advantage of Adai Mara's weaknesses defensively.
I think you're going to see a lot of four or five ball screens that try to get Adai Mara switched on to Cam Boozer.
Cam Boozer can win that matchup off the dribble nine times out of ten defensively.
I also think if Duke wins this game, there's going to be at least a three or so made from Malik Brown and Pat Gongba because Adai Mara is going to let them take wide open threes on the pick and pop.
That's just not something that is in his game as the Michigan staff has coached it for him to contest.
The last guy I'll mention from the highlight is the guy who is on the marquee for Michigan.
That's Yaxo Lindenborg.
He's going to be a lottery pick.
He might be the one lottery pick that's not a freshman in this loaded, loaded freshman class.
He makes plays defensively that โ and I will draw hate, I am sure, for saying this.
He makes Cooper Flagg-esque plays defensively.
Wow.
He blocks shots that I have only ever seen Cooper Flagg get to at the college game.
You could watch the end of the Purdue game last night in a game that was basically decided.
Comes out of nowhere, blocks from behind, perfectly clean.
A Trey Kaufman run, essentially a dunk.
He does that on the regular.
He is a fantastic help side defender.
I can't imagine he'll be matched up one-on-one with Cam Boozer a lot.
