He will block a couple shots but dont let it fool you hes a bad defender,PnR he gets eaten alive because he retreats on the screen because he doesnt want to get beat off the dribble cuz hes slow footed...Hes always 20 feet under the screens on PnRs giving up open jump shots and floaters....Nikkas saying hes an upgrade defensively are just flat out wrong.

Laker/Clipper games this year Bron is gonna be targeting Serge in 1/5 screens with AD all day long until Ty Lue benches him...
He’s an upgrade over Trezz spoiled Raptors fan

P&R defense is not the only aspect of defense and it’s one that the average big sucks at. It’s hard for 7 footers to defend in space which is a major reason why offense is at an all time high. Bron will always mismatch hunt the big has been doing it all decade. Trezz was exploited he looked lost guarding 25 feet from the basket it’s not like he’s this great defender in space himself.

Rim protection and defensive rebounding also matter and Ibaka is a floor spacer that makes him an upgrade over Harrell. Ibaka is also a better locker room guy than Trezz.

He’s 7’0 as per the new NBA measurements.

The facts are...

-51% allowed at the rim, 1.1 blocks per 36

-38.5% from three, 48% from 10-16 feet, 38% from 16 feet to the three point line=floor spacer

-11 rebounds per 36

-Ibaka is a beloved teammate that brings lil drama, Trezz beefed with star teammates

Both he and Trezz are poor P&R and P&P defenders and poor at switching onto guards (like many other bigs in the NBA). Ultimately, Ibaka is a much better floor spacer, slightly better rim protector, better rebounder, and better locker room guy with championship experience.

That makes him a better fit for the Clippers fukk what you crying about. :mjlol:
