That has certainly been much closer to my experience than what you said.  In general with similar potential I might expect a point or two more growth in defense than SB, but that's all.  I certainly not describe defense as receiving "the overwhelming majority" of the focus.  I recently had a center graduate who had a total career growth of 34 points of defense and 37 of SB.  His freshman year he grew 17 in DEF and 16 in SB.  So I'd say the rates are pretty darn close.

Sure. But you do understand that the majority of shot blocking growth comes from conditioning minutes, right?

I'm gonna have to agree with Dahs on this one Daalt.  I've always understood Conditioning minutes to improve Ath/Spd/Stam/Dur and Footwork minutes to improve Def/SB.
