Rebound rates around 20 are petty solid. Ryan Anderson's early career defensive rebound rates were fine. He's since dropped to the 11-12 range, so...
Rim protection and perimeter shooting are two of the most important things today and it's the incredibly rare player that can offer them. If...
His defensive rebound rate is excellent--what kills his overall rebound rate is offensive rebounding because he's playing on the perimeter. That's...
Wait, what? Booker does not play defense--he's one of the worst defensive guards in basketball. Porzingis is the guy who shoots the three and...
Love and Booker are both deficient defensively--Booker is awful, Love is merely poor. Teams would exploit them constantly on the pick-and-roll....
Especially since he could have both guys, if he likes Markkanen that much. It's like he thinks you're only allowed to have one white shooter and...
If Cleveland loses out on an opportunity to parlay Love into Butler or George because they fired their GM during the week of trade negotiations,...
Damn, the Spurs are less a basketball team and more a cult. Once they drink the special drink, they lose interest in money and care only about The...

If Ainge is right that Jackson/Tatum are pretty comparable prospects to Fultz, this is a very smart move. Outside of generational talents (like...
Mind blown.
Yeah, but the Lakers aren't close to contention right now and George seems to very much want to just sign with them in the off-season. I...
If the Pacers rook the Lakers into giving up the #2 simply by setting up the Cavaliers as a stalking horse, Pritchard deserves the 2018 Executive...
Boston isn't getting the 76ers pick, though. According to Woj's clarification, if the 2018 Lakers pick doesn't convey, Boston gets the Kings' 2019...
You need a team that's strong defensively and can force turnovers, can dominate the offensive boards and has at least a top-ten offense. When the...
