That will be determined by how comfortable Flip is with AJ's defense. It is really as simple as that.

If AJ can perform at the defensive end and I don't mean just by blocking shots, but rather by stopping his man, handling switches, staying out of foul trouble etc, then we will win it all. If he can't then we will have to fight to get out of the EC.
