People around here have a real selective respect for defense. Every great defender who isnt a scorer gets called a role player then we wonder why players ignore defense and play ugly hero ball.

Draymond is a 4 time all star, a DPOY, 2 time all NBA and 4-5 times all D with 3 rings at 28.

But I guess hes doing something wrong facilitating his team adding a player who justified him no longer taking a lot of shots while stacking more titles.....

We talk a lot of shit about Melo to apparently want other people to be Melo.

Pistol Petes are always famous. Dennis Johnsons are always ignored. But every coach takes a Dennis Johnson first.

Zion is built like Ron artest. Same frame with more girth.

Except that Draymonds defense is a lot about intangibles like positioning instincts etc. Not sure Zion has those (yet)

Guys like Montrezl Harrell make me rethink my position on Zion. He could be something in the NBA. I just don't think it will be enough to carry a franchise.
