@Ashc00lyo @BejingDon @recycleoptions @CamFuckingSuck hes not good we all know that

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@FlurrayTalks Herb better i agree, he cant be a guard tho idt

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@0nlyHoops agree on allen being better, think its close enough (even if embiid hasn't been as good defensively for the last month plus) that the fact that JAs about to miss a considerable amount of time matters tho

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

All Defensive Teams:

1st - Marcus Smart, Jimmy Butler, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Draymond Green, Rudy Gobert

2nd - Matisse Thybulle, Mikal Bridges, Evan Mobley, Jaren Jackson Jr, Joel Embiid

HMs - FVV, Herb, Vando, Bam, Allen, etc

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@ZankoUchiha Bam and JA both over Joel without injuries and didn't rlly consider either for a forward spot

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@KGsGOAT how has it been problematic *all season*? earlier on he was great playing both the ball handler and the lob when in drop, and was also defending the pnr at the level or hedging more. first half of the season he looked like the 4th best defender

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@KGsGOAT earlier in the yr the rim protection was elite, rim deterrence better than anyone besides gobert, and the pnr d was the best its ever been, its only been since around after the halfway point of the season that the motors been a legit concern

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@Ramsfan245 games played (projecting for allen), id put both over embiid if that didn't matter

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@KGsGOAT ??? up till like the last month he was having perhaps the best defensive season of his career

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@Arpan_Niyo10 check the 3rd tweet

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@KGsGOAT i could see taking him off given hes slipped on that end as of late but given how much time Allens gonna miss and how much time Bams missed i still give him a slight edge

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@Lakesh0wAidan who you think rob will should be over?

and dejounte still v good defensively but offensive loads hurt his impact on d a bit

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@priv_vince2k over who

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

Not taxing Draymond for missed games too much cuz hes that much better than anyone else that could be there

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

Lonzo and Caruso should be here but too many missed games

Jarrett Allen should be 2nd team, but idt he has enough of an edge over other candidates to make up for how much time he'll miss

Jimmy/Mikal can be Gs

Embiid's slipped a bit on d lately but still think hes good enough

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@TYRES3HALl NBA; rank the top 5 teams itl based off their title chances when healthy

pacers; favourite individual season ever from a pacer?

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@JTsthatguy well yeah hes a great shotmaker. the thing is tho that the weaker defences didn't defend him well enough at the poa to stop him from getting to his spots whereas better defences esp in the playoffs would do that, just look at how jrue defended him in the 4th for instance

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@NDTalksBall i was praising him and being happy w the wins when he was on that streak lol, doesn't mean i cant be realistic/critical after that

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@DP0YZO its obviously not strictly him, but i think games (like yesterday vs the bucks) vs better defences/defenders show that he'll struggle when defenders actually offer resistance against him as opposed to giving him space and letting him get in rhythm/get to his spots

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

@CamFuckingSuck @Ashc00lyo juice

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

DeMar during his 35+ streak faced a below average defence in 5 of 8 games including the 2 worst defences in the league

Since then (vs actual comp); 10-29 v MEM, 18 pts v MIA, 11-30 v MIL

Stop letting him trick y'all, hes not that guy

[JGD @TradeVucevic]

Yeah this information by itself doesn't actually tell you much, yeah its nasty agenda pushing on my part

But the big point is that the scoring tears he's gone on this yr vs mostly weaker defences hides a bigger issue
