Start with Jennings and go from there... a large majority of opponent penetration is coming from the PG spot.
Dre is starting to learn the angles of where the player is going vs playing the man tight... Ben was the master at laying back until the last second... he could effectively guard the ball and his man this way.
Smith is a better defender than Monroe at PF... he's clearly out of position at SF (as is Monroe at PF).
A long defensive minded PG will help reduce the front line being exposed regularly.

Re: Good Offensive rebounding = bad transition defense
Boozer, West, Randolph... They all got a pretty good mid range shot. Monroe hasn't got. So easy.
Monroe is like Irving, Love... anticompetitive players, who put his numbers night after night but you never see them die in the court, fight for every ball... Never, is like they don't care about win. I don't want to sign a stats player, I want defensive players, who always do their best on the court...
Obviously, if you put them in the right team, with a great coach, and a great system, they can be very good players, above all Irving or Love, but you never ever will see them die on the court.
We're the bad boys guys, we need to find our way, but we can't be a shame for our history.
