Defense?


Randle guards the paint, KAT roams and does his high wall nonsense. Dlo, Ant, V8 guard the perimeter. Works much better than what we have been doing.

Also Randle adds scoring and rebounding that MCD lacks. Even if you give up 10 more points on defense, you save at least that much in second chance scoring and paint scoring.


And now you’ve lost the defensive switching that has been so effective.

You must realize how much it would hurt to have two guy who hunt O boards in a lineup like that. We don’t need more o boarding in the starting lineup. On top of that if you don’t get the o board you now have even less defense going back on the break.


You just saw it fail all quarter. Open 3 after open 3. Same thing happened against Portland, they just missed them in the 2nd half. We don’t need to collapse the entire D with a big in the paint. If KAT is going to leave the paint we need a big who can defend it.

Sure, Naz has been paint protecting. Also, Randle brings more than Naz on the other end.
