Perimeter defense 

Post#1 » by Goudelock » Sat Mar 7, 2015 3:16 pm

Once Sefaslosha comes back, the Hawks will have Carroll, Sefalosha, and Bazemore (why didn't the Lakers keep him :banghead: ) on the wing, and Jeff Teague and Dennis Schröder pressuring the opposing pointguard. Does anyone else in the league have that kind of defense on the perimeter?

No one is close really. Golden St. would probably be second on the list.

You also can't count out how well our bigs defend the perimeter. Millsap is #3 in defensive win shares and Horford is #18.

Houston has a Beverly, Prigs (better defensively than people know), Brewer, Ariza, and Smith who is awesome defending 3's. Besides that, I don't think anyone really comes close.

Memphis has a couple of excellent perimeter defenders in Tony Allen and Mike Conley, but noone else really.
