Kitila was one of the tallest guys on the court, helping him pick up three blocks in the first five minutes of the game. He continued to be a disruptor on the inside the entire game and forced the other team into uncomfortable shots all night. His interior defense should not undermine his quickness and ability to defend on the perimeter. Even if the ball-handler got a step on him, he could recover using his length to get back in front of his man. His lateral quickness and long build helped him tip passes to spark fastbreaks.
