Lol. But with his defensive deficiencies it's easy to understand why some consider his offensive display somewhat of a wash. We wouldn't be this successful without MKG and Kemba's defense just as much as Big Al's offense has carried us. They play off each other.
Kemba racks up the steals, but I think his defense is average, maybe slightly above average.
Hope he continues to rebound like last night.
PG is a tough position to defend consistently. Night in and night out he has to defend the fastest, quickest, and most skilled players on the floor. If PGs played one-on-one basketball they would rarely get a stop since they have the skills to get pretty much wherever they want on the floor. I agree that his defense is maybe only slightly above average but that's considerably good when he has the 2nd best defensive rating of the starters. We all know MKG is our best defender but it's a toss up between Kemba and Biz on who's our 2nd best defender. I'd give it to Kemba since he plays more minutes.
Biz is our 2nd best defender, Kemba gets lit up to much and messes up more than Biz
