    Nice to see Jabari in here. Providing some intangible rotations ala Shane Battier?

    How far we have come with Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun. From Stephen Silas, to one of the best defenses in the NBA.

    Sengun in both the top defensive groups in the NBA. But there’s a long thread on here claiming he’s a bad defender?

    Did ClutchFans…lie???

    By the way, everyone treated Dyson Daniels as an afterthought in the Murray trade, but the Hawks are getting from Daniels what they hoped they were getting from Murray.

    The Houston Rockets are REALLY GOOD at team defense.

    all Jabari has to do to become a good player is hit open 3s.... that's it... which is insane considering what his draft profile was coming into the league.

    I can guarantee if Tari / Amen / Brooks / Adams were given the minutes together they would have a 52.0 rating.

    It's got to be this. Tari and Amen play defense like they are possessed by demons.

    Alpi is in both of those line-ups!!!! I could have sworn I read on here he is a bad defender, lol. As others have said they need to play Alpi, Tari, & Amen together more. They would likely have a defensive rating 10+ points lower. Even if he continues to come off the bench, Tari should be getting more minutes than Bari.

    I guess I have to watch Bari’s defense more closely. He definitely deserves credit for the defensive improvement from year 1. Wonder what the drop off is if you replace bari with Amen or Tari in those 4-man groups.

    #3 features Trae Young, so it might be a flawed metric.

    The terror twins "only" have a 102.3 as a pair. Brooks and Amen may be the uber terror twins with a rating of 86.3 in 124 minutes.

    The Terror Trio of Brooks, Amen and Tari have a rating of 80.6 in 61 mins.

    Defensive liability AlP strikes again. How can he get away with it everytime? Damn...

    My point, exactly. Amen is generally considered our best defender and he doesn’t appear in either of our best lineups.

    I was getting hyped until I saw TRAE YOUNG for ATL!! I know for a fact he does not play ANY defense

    We can not trust ALL stats
