It's crazy that such a lousy defensive player could draw a charge and be +8 in 9 minutes.
He's a below average defender. That doesn't mean he can't take a charge. He's a high IQ player. Dedmon got a walk in dunk on him on a Butler pick and roll where he showed to stop the Butler penetration but couldn't recover quickly enough to get back to Dedmon.

Why does everything have to be hyperbole? Are you saying Garza is even in the 30th percentile in defense?

Are you saying he's not? And have data to back that up?

The only thing he has over Cade is post play lol
Good half? Pistons should be up 20 if not for Garza's terrible defense.MotownMadness wrote:Good half, now keep it up in the 2nd half

Yep I’m saying he’s not. Not even based on stats, based on watching him play. You’re entitled to your opinion

Nope, he's not as bad defensively as you say he is.
There, that was easy. Didn't even need any stats to do it.

It's not an opinion if you offer up a stat. I'm assuming that you have numbers to back up that worse than 30th percentile on defense? Tell me how that's defined.

How bad defensively did I say he is? I said he's below average. He is a much better defender than Killian is at scoring the basketball. Garza isn't a bottom 5 defender in the league and Killian in back to back years has been bottom 5 TS% for rotation players.
I don't think Garza is horrible at defense but I also am not stupid enough to think he's a good defender right now either. That said, he is a skilled offensive player who plays hard and knows how to play. I'm a fan. He's still going to get scored on more than Stewart who is an above average defender and better at defending the pick and roll than Drummond ever was.
Said it last game he's so much better being agressive going to the rim. Him shooting so well in college made him fall in love with the 3 ball.johanliebert wrote:Cade settles for too many 3's.
