If you’ve coached a great offensive player who is athletic and competes, you can teach him to play defense. It’s a lot harder to teach a good defensive player to put the ball in the basket consistently. Criticism of some of these players’ defensive ability in college is vastly overrated.
I don’t care about size
I don’t care about fit
I don’t care about defensive issues
If you want a franchise changing star go draft Darius Acuff Jr @LAClippers
"Darius Acuff is a winning player - he's absolutely terrific in crunch time I watched him in Big moments game after game, SEC player of the year, he makes the right play whether he's scoring or making the game easier" - Seth Greenberg

"Kings could trade up to 6th w. Brooklyn Nets to acquire Darius Acuff"
Sacramento really wants the Brunson's type player on their team, w. Calipari having a history of coaching great guards. Will nets be making a franchise mistake passing on Darius Acuff.

The Bucks could be positioning themselves to trade up for Darius Acuff Jr.
Acuff was in Milwaukee last week for a private workout and blew away team officials.
If Giannis Antetokounmpo is traded to the Heat, Milwaukee would have two lottery picks to attempt a move up for Acuff.
I can’t get over how dumb De’Aaron Fox was at the end, how badly Victor Wembanyama choked in the second half, and how poorly Mitch Johnson coached.
Knicks played incredibly but to come back from 29 down, the other team has to help you a whole lot. Spurs collapse. This will be the villain origin story for Wembanyama and the Knicks will be champions.
Victor Wembanyama when asked about reports of Knicks fans attacking Spurs fans in New York after Game 3:
"I didn’t know that… We’re just playing a game out there. And I’m all for passion, but to the respect of each other. It’s unacceptable."
