because its the easiest part to pick up
they have the athleticism and the will most times
it's their foundation where a lot of us players been playing all their lives their uber skilled so they lean on those skills more defense is how they impact the game as they bring the other parts of their game along

Most play other sports, gain fluidity to move the feet on defense and then start playing ball. Also most of them miss the AAU circuit where it's more bout putting up online fkin mixtapes offensively than defensive fundamentals.

Yup pretty much genetically they have the lateral quickness to keep up with any ball handler.

Maybe its cause a lot of them come to the league still fairly raw and don't have a lot of finesse to their game, but make up for it w/ tenacity
