Walsh and Gonzales have high defensive potential.
Depends ultimately who Joe plays and how much but there are plenty of guys on this team capable of playing at a high level.
Bottom 10 defense at best. Being real.
Pritchard, Hauer, Simons, Niang, Scheierman etc. will be a turnstile on the perimeter with Queta, Garza, Tillman offering rim protection? Please.
Queta is a decent rim protector. Hauser and Pritchard are respectable defenders. We don't know how much Scheierman is going to play. Niang isn't that bad on D..looks like he's slimmed down a bit and got in better shape now too..
Simons could be better on D now that he's on a better team, a team where he doesn't have to use all of his energy up by having to carry the offense.
You're just being overly negative.
The guys who will play the most mins for us are both good defenders (JB, white)..1 of them is an all-defense player.
Also, if the defense is bad, who cares? We get a better draft pick.
Lastly, these conversations seem premature. There could still be more moves made this summer. For all we know, Simons will be gone and either Claxton or Ben Simmons will be added, which would mean a better defense..
