if he never saw him be a good defender than he didn't really watch much tape. he's not always playing great defense like his fans here will tell you, but he has had plenty of really good moments.

Might as well post the rest of what the dude said:

I thought Frank Ntilinkina could be a good defender, but I haven’t seen that. I thought he could handle the ball, but I haven’t seen that, either. The shooting, I don’t know if that will kick in. We never worried about him when we played those guys. . . .

RJ Barrett is raw. He looks like the type of guy who could get hurt. He plays in super straight lines. He’s going to get contact. He’s got to be a better shooter so he can avoid all that. . . .

They are pumping it up that Kevin Knox has added strength. I’m not seeing it. He was a below average shooter last year. . . .

Mitchell Robinson’s athletic talent and ability to finish was impressive. He was like Shawn Kemp—just get it up there and go get it. It’s really hard to handle pick-and-rolls with him two-on-two. You have to bring a third guy in to protect. Now the weak side is open and you are into rotations. . . .

Julius Randle is a really tough offensive player. And he often looks like he couldn’t give two f---s about defense. In an ideal world, if he can make some shots, he would be able to be a four. Then you have him and Robinson. If he can’t, you have to play him at the five, and that pulls Robinson out. . . .

I don’t see Dennis Smith as a point guard who is a leader. He’s a good finisher, a guy you have to keep out of transition, go under in his pick-and-rolls, force him to shoot. You let him get to the rim, he’ll kill you. . . .

They could have an all-toughness team with Marcus Morris, Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis.

He'll be the guy hitting 6 3's on us after we don't trade for him

Vets on short term contracts (flexibility for what? Giannis? Gtfo) who won’t hesitate to undermine Fiz if they don’t get minutes or start (assuming those weren’t guarantees). Foundational players playing out of position (RJ, Knox) because of an overcrowded frontcourt and lacking spacing/not developing because of other additions (Payton). There’s no hierarchy.

I fully support Perry’s rebuilding plan as a whole but I’m afraid he’s too much of a basketball conservative to actually build a team. I’ll give him 2 more years though, as long as he doesn’t trade picks/young players.
