The purpose of a guy who removes the entire paint as an option, is to guard the entire other team. If he were there to guard individuals, he’d be of much less use. He’s a Dikembe Mutombo not a Dennis Rodman. He’s not a man to man stopper he is there for his team defense. Small ball, however makes him either play individual defense and destroy the...

Pelicans secretly salivating after every Laker game. Give us dat #1 pick boys

Could have been a good goalie perhaps.

The people actually getting coochie don't feel the need to brag about it. You and LeBron23 virgins for life :yaohappy:

Zingis is one of the best defenders in the league when healthy. Zingis only allows 62% from 0-5%, 32% from 5-9 feet, 48% from 10-14 and 42% from 14-19 feet. Comparison Gobert: 58%, 45%, 48% and 34% Embiid: 65%, 40%, 43% and 47%. Those numbers show that Porzingis is basically a big time rim protector. Not only does he block shots, but...

It's a way to give the kid money and write it off on taxes as a business expense.

Porzingis. Has the GOAT peak today and is also one of the soccer GOAT's

They do play defense, but not by tackling, but they are the first defender in that many pressure ball handlers and ocassionally run back and help defend, but this is very dependant on team and coach. In Romarios time, it was fully acceptable for a striker to just stand around when the opponent had the ball. That does happen, but not as much,...

here are 20 guys off the top of my head that are better than him: (in no particular order) steph kd giannis luka lillard booker embiid jokic

depends on your definition of 'defense' they forecheck, that could be considered defense.

That can be a very stubborn injury. I strained my calf over 5 years ago running and I still feel it every day. Granted I am old af but still :(

Ronaldo and Jordan. 4 CL titles in 5 years and 6 NBA titles in 6 Finals. . :bowdown:

No they don't. Defense is pretty much irrelevant for forwards and even offensive midfielders.

they're mental cases.

Conley seemed small much of the time but that's more that he was playing with 2's that didn't play big. Utah's D right now has been horrible with Conley out

That's pushing it. He's not top 10 at all though.

Even if it was true it would be irrelevant. He averaged only 1.8 turnovers per game last year. Any team would take that if they can get 15.6 ppg shooting 71%

Alt acc really is in space jam world. This guy hasn't been top 10 in mvp for a while now

HUGE win. We could stand to be a little more refined offensively but I'm willing to accept that there just aren't the players there obviously. But we're super young still and this is probably the most promising American soccer has looked in a long time. We're fast and pretty aggressive on the ball so I could see us giving NED fits. Not...

Oh really, maga moron: https://news.yahoo.com/us-auction-almost-1-million-190213246.html

Sometimes over reliance on the 3 can backfire. Witness Houston a few years back. Utah's big problem is that they didn't have many good defenders other than Rudy. Conley is good against pgs but is vulnerable on switches.

You put other guys around him that defend so he doesn't have to try and guard everyone by himself. You have another big that can protect the rim to some extent when he has to leave the paint. You put him with two other great players that will overwhelm them at the other end. A coach that will make adjustments couldn't hurt even if they weren't a...

He doesn’t defend the pick and roll like say a Joakim Noah or how Kevin Garnett could pop out and do a few things and move around but he doesn’t have to. He blows up plays dropping down to the foul line. It isn’t always gonna work with todays shooting but over the course of a season it’s disruptive enough to give him good impact numbers along with...

If he was all of that they he wouldn't average 13 ppf for his career shooting 66% with an ortg of 128.

It was actually both. He leads in tos per time of possession by a huge margin, per touch is closer.

I suspect the actual numbers the tweet was referencing weren't per touch at all. It was more likely per time of possession assuming the tweet actually existed. Even then I still doubt it.

He would still suck and I clearly explained that in my previous post. Reading is hard guys.
