They're going with a 3, or I think Bridges :jbhmm:

Miles or Mikal? I really have a hard time pegging Bridges. Justise Winslow with a 3 pt shot? He should be a fine role player if Tatum, Brown, SJ, etc are flourishing. Not a lot of 3s in this draft and can't justify any before 7.

Both to be honest, snag Mikal with a early 2nd if he's still there.

I'd draft Bridges with the idea that he could be a smallball PF in the future, he's got T-rex arms but he should be able to rebound, I think he's great fit with the Sixers too.

Kid doesn't even try.

Wiggins is at least trying now.


Yeah, he has the worst DRTG of the starters on the Wolves and is now -

Second to last in DRPM for centers in the league.


His defense is just disgusting with no signs of growth over last year.

Pretty scary that he's getting worse defensively under thibs.

What are the numbers for the rest of the starters?

What's confusing is that he was a better defender as a rookie, and you would assume that with less offensive responsibility he'd be getting better and not worse -


DRTG

DRPM

Teague is 45 out of 87 for PGs
Butler is 5 out of 96 for SGs
Wiggins is 81 out of 86 for SFs
Taj is 24 out of 89 for PFs
Towns is 69 out of 70 for Cs


Wiggins is :ld:, but a wing player being bad isn't as big of an issue as your C being a terrible defender.

nikka is an offensive perfectionist

if you gave him Embiids defense, or even Porzingis's, he'd be the greatest player positionally ever seen

He is the best back to basket big in the NBA since maybe the Shaq Duncan era, his face up game is all time great abnd so is his jumpshot. Theres no fukkin reason why he barely touches the ball during games.

Thibs shoulda been fined by ownership each game Towns had less than 15 shots. Clearly the most talented player on the team.

last I checked they run Thibs patened whoever offense, and without Butler as the team leader, I can only imagine how little sets are actually ran. I pray to GOD Spurs get their shyt together and make a run at a player whos actually in his prime for once. Pop would only need to make him a net neutral defensively
