Completely inaccurate about defense. The reason that scoring is 25 points less than what it was in the 80's is because of DEFENSE! NBA scores in the 70's and early 80's were averaging 125 points per team. You don't drop 20 points with the way athletes can get to the rim today without it being defense!

As for Wiltjer, here is a picture of him playing defense

While I agree that athleticism & defense is the difference in the scoring from the 70's & 80's I disagree Wiltjer. Each team has players with different attributes, & some of those guys are sparks off the bench scorers, others are shut down defensive guys, other transition players, & others are inside bangers. Wiltjer when hitting is in the same mold of Steve Novak from the Knicks, & Ryan Anderson from the Hornets. Neither of those guys are real athletic but can use their size & tools to get open shots. Is Wiltjer ready?? Heck no, but if he shot this year like he did last he may be. Wiltjer is struggling because the team is struggling. He's relied upon for experience & scoring, which isn't the type of player he is. The dribble drive wasn't made for Wiltjer, & I'm not sure why Cal took him other than his shooting ability.
