Jaden might be the only high IQ defender on this team..almost everyone else on the team makes so many dumb and stupid mistakes on defense

Rubio’s defense is very solid this quarter, but he really needs to take care of the ball better. GREAT block by Josh Okogie.

lot of Ant's problems on defense arise due to him overhelping and leaving his man open..he has made some improvements but still does this quite often

Ant really does get lost on literally every defensive possession

Gets his defense technique straight from Towns.

Ant at least gives effort. Defense legitimately takes years to acclimate to when you’re a 19 year old rookie. LBJ, Kobe, and pretty much every other elite wing player struggled defensively until 22-23 years of age.

Dlo is a different matter altogether. He legitimately does not give af on the defensive side of the ball

Third quarter:
Rubio 2 bad passes, leads to 0 kings points. 2 assist, and plays defense.
“He’s having a bad quarter”

DLo, zero points scored, zero defense played, 2 assists, 1to leading to 2 kings points.
....crickets



One of these guys is a max (paid) player. Maybe they should be the one getting the most scrutiny?

Can you throw something positive in every 4th or 5th post?

The last few minutes have been good. Edwards with some incredible offense, kid's growth is apparent.

Scoreboard giving McDaniels that 3 after the 6 minute mark instead of Edwards?
