Who are our best defenders My List: 1. Ariza 2. CP3 3. Capela 4. Luc 5. Tucker 6. Harden 7. Ego 8. NeNe 9. Black 10. Anderson Rocket River
1.Luc 2.Paul . 3.Ariza 4.Capela (defensive value varies depending on opponent) 5.Tucker . . 6.Nene . 7.Gordon 8.Harden . 9.Anderson
That’s pretty good. As an individual defender Ariza is better than Paul, but I think team defense wise Paul has a greater impact.
1. Luc 2. Ariza 3. Cp3 . . 4. Tucker 5. Capela . . 6. Black 7. Gordon 8. Harden 9. NeNe . . . . 10. Anderson
Yes, Anderson is way overpaid. His play this season has been okay on both ends of the court. Last few weeks he has been asked to play in the middle => not a good fit for him at all but he has some blocks and his board are up. What would Capela look like if asked to spread the floor? Hay coach let the players do what they excell at.
Anderson + primary ballhandler's PnR are always in the middle because that creates the most space for the ballhandler to penetrate. The lanes are filled correctly and our snipers are positioned correctly if the PnR is done in the middle. Ryno hasn't been getting open lately, and I don't know if that's on him (moving really slow) or if the defense has just completely keyed in on him, sticking to him like glue. If it's the latter, it's essentially 4-on-4 basketball, which should be even better for us.
I guess the biggest draw here is . . . . .. our defense is lacking because 3 out of our 5 top defenders are out and hurt Rocket River
My List: 1. Luc Mbah A Moute 2. CP3 3. Ariza 4. Capela 5. Tucker 6. Briante Weber 7. Gordon 8. Black 9. Nene 10. Harden 11. Zhou Qi 12. Ryan Anderson
Harden not being the worst defender in the rotation is a joke. And better defender than Nene? Fantasy land. Harden literally doesn't play transition defense or contest shots in halfcourt situations.
Moute is the clear #1 IMO Capela has a big impact on the game due to his rim protection, while he may not be as solid fundamentally as Paul his length and athleticism makes him very effective at anchoring the paint, its a tough one between these 2 So Luc Paul Capela Tucker Ariza Gordon Weber Nene Harden Black Anderson
