designing a zone defense for you

I could have sworn your team didn't care about defense. But not sure what that accomplishes...

All my guys can shoot.

I don't see why my team wouldn't care about defense when I have one of the most impactful defenders in KP in the game.

C'mon man, you know that's a bit of a stretch now. You're better than that. I can name 30 more impactful defenders in 2 minutes. I know what stat you're going to serve me back.

I agree, there's one stat where KP is crazy high on D, so it elevates his perception rather than his actual play on D.

I love KP and Jokic, but on the real, that combo - right now - is going to be roasted. That could change depending on the rest of your draft, but right now it's getting roasted. Same with IT/Love/Lopez.

Every team thinks they'll be average or "solid." Peeps need to realize that someone has to rank 16 to 30 on defense

Because it's really only one or two stats that support it. Realistically, you want to use him at the 5 with a 4 like Favors who can compliment KP's game a bit better. KP gets bullied by some thicker 4's in man D. I think KP is a good help defender actually.

Thats a lot of talent right there pelifan but no way there is not gonna be any problems in that locker room lol after the 20th game Reggie Jackson will leave the stadium in a coffin

I know how we can build team chemistry

I got 2 players. And while Jokic isn't a good defender KP is so for right now i will be aiight. If I pick 3 back perimeter defenders we can discuss how bad my defense is.

Yeah, I agree, but you said KP is one of the most impactful defenders in the game. That's a reach.
