Answer my question who does Klay deserve to be over. Avery Bradley should be in over Paul, who does Klay go over?

:mjgrin:

Klay should be over both.. so we going to act like he ain't put one of the hardest nikkas to guard in the league on smash? He had Kyrie in the yoke :mjgrin:

Stop it slime, Klay ain't on Avery Bradley's level defensively picking up full court, staying in front of his man, on-ball steals...

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
I hate when people try to use stats to determine who is better than who on defense. These numbers are always faulty.

I just watch the games. And from watching the games when Andrew Wiggins matched up with Kawhi vs Giannis, there wasn't even a comparison. Against Kawhi he was not even able to dribble. Kawhi ripped him nearly every play and locked him up with ease. When Wiggins played Giannis, he scored at ease when matched up one on one. He was able to beat him off the dribble easily. Now this was only a couple of games but the difference between the two players was stark for me.

Giannis might be the better rim protector, but Kawhi Leonard is still the better defender by a long shot.

Watch the games.


:dead:


Tell people to watch games, but neglect the fact that Giannis doesn't actually guard Wiggins when they play.

Draymond doesn't shoot 42% from the free throw line. Draymond is absolutely not a liability on the offensive end, he doesn't show up in the playoffs consistently but that's it

Roberson shot 14% from the freethow line in the playoffs, that's not the argument you want to make breh.

Roberson in the playoffs this year:

FG%: 50+
3PT-FG%: 40+

If you make your shots when they leave you open, you're not that big of a liability. Draymond was the opposite against the Cavs: made his free throws but bricked his shots from the field.

He does on some possessions. Just watch these highlights. Giannis guarded Wiggins on a couple of possessions and Wiggins blew by him with ease.



The fact he doesn't always guard Wiggins should let you know his perimeter defense isn't in the same stratosphere as Kawhi. Why would the Bucks put Jabari Parker on Wiggins rather than Giannis if he was this stopper some on here wanna imply? For the record, Wiggins guards Giannis on the other end while Giannis mostly hides from him.

Giannis is a great rim protector and roamer on defense. But he lacks the lateral quickness to stick with elite guards on the perimeter like Wiggins. And he obviously lacks the girth and strength to guard powerful bigs like Towns. That is why he typically hides on guys like Gorgui Dieng when the Bucks play the Wolves.
