pascal close out scares shooters.
Exactly, the problem was never DeRozan being aggressive. It's the fact that he he'd throw up some shot trying to draw a foul, complain to the ref and not run back on defense, or commit a frustration foul and keep complaining to the refs. Meanwhile on offense he's not helping to space the floor for anyone else to score. And don't get me started on his awful body language when things go bad
There's a huge difference compared with Pascal who can still play defense, still spread the floor, and never stops running in transition to fill the lane.
yeah its insane that we waste possession all the time on defence from some stupid mental lapse and that **** adds up. its insane how we went from a 65 DEF team to a 95 DEF in two years by losing the "pound the rock" guy. Big credit to nick nurse.
