Does Charles Barkley realize he was small?

Rodman would have no problem guarding Draymond on the perimeter. Rodman has guarded a myriad of players in his career from shooting guards to centers...he and Pippen are the most versatile defenders in NBA history. So no, Draymond shooting 3's wouldn't be a problem.

It's not a matter of whether or not he can guard Draymond, it's the fact that Draymond pulls your big away from the rim and gets them involved in PnR situations with Curry. How can Rodman guard Draymond when he's probably going to switch or trap Curry?

The whole purposes of having a dude like Draymond or Love or any of these stretch 4s is that they get your defense into uncomfortable rotations.

fine.. that's great.. when he does guard green, the paint is open.. easier time to ball handlers

 

[42 Monks]

you do understand.. when the stretch 4 is on offense.. rodman is on defense.. where he takes the BULK of his rebounds by having great position and timing...

you do understand.. if he has to chill between the 3 line and the free throw line he loses those advantage...right?


he either has to switch on the ball handler.. or stay on the stretch 4..

if he goes for the ball handler.. yes.. his rebounds stays the same but.. draymond will light him up with 3s..

i am not sure what's so hard to understand... and you better believe most teams chose to sacrifice rebound for defense on open shots.

you still keep acting like people can't defend the perimeter and be a great rebounder at the same time

which is dumb as fukk

especially when draymond green fukking does exactly that

you really trying to pretend like lbj's career numbers simply don't exist. like he's never been a great rebounder and one of the league's best defenders as well

it must be impossible.

i knew one of you would understand...


i even got negged for something so simple...

he is not averaging 14 rebounds per game... that example works in my favor.

plus. he often challenges none stretch players.

Sure, that would absolutely happen. Pick and roll defense involves quick rotations by the entire team to cover the rolling player. It's especially hard when the guy who sets the pick can hit the three. But like I said, Rodman's lateral quickness defensively was that of a guard, so he was able to flash and recover about as well as any big in league history. On a team with as many all-time defenders as the 90's Bulls had, they would have defended that play about as well as any other team could. No team nowadays is able to cover it, then again, no team had Rodman, Pippen, and Jordan as defenders.

what does that arbitrary number have to do with anything?

i've never once said that draymond isn't a huge benefit as a stretch 4 in the way he opens up the floor for his teammates, but what the fukk does that have to do with rebounding? you think people just stand still while the shot goes up?

and 4 out, GS's best lineup, no one is keeping rodman out of the paint - ever.

so your saying.. draymond is about to pull up a 3.. he will go.. defend the 3 ball..which will have him landing behind the 3 point line.. AWAY FROM THE BASKET.. then run to the paint to grab the rebound before the ball reaches the ground....and no one can keep him out... even dough everyone would see him running after the fact...

The Bulls never had to deal with the prospect of a dude hitting 30 foot threes with a PF that could also stretch the floor accompanied by two guys on the wings that hit nearly 40% of them as well. That was a completely foreign concept and just assuming they'd be able to deal with it is crazy. Rodman did not have guard like lateral quickness when he played for the Bulls, he was in his mid 30s bruh, he was quicker than the average PF at the time but he wasn't approaching guards. Also, we saw Anthony Davis, someone with incredible athleticism, length and mobility get absolutely destroyed when he had to guard Curry on switches, Rodman wouldn't do any better if he got caught on an island with him.

Nevermind the fact the Bulls didn't hit enough threes

i understand what he means.. but i believe modern basketball is better than the 90's


today's team would lit most teams up with 3 points..

draymond would have torched Rodman

what fukkery is this

draymond stay on top of the 3point.. not the side.. and yes.. most defenders ends up out of bound when defending the side 3

i know you can actually start to understand what i meant the whole time..

pride wont let you show it.. but you get it now.. it was never about the better palyer or rebounder but the match up problem.
