Malta, what is ZBo's wingspan? This dude rarely gets his sh1t blocked. Blake had good D and he still got it over him with ease
Did it to DJ too.
Whats stopping the Clips from being a good defensive squad? I think its DJ and the Wings. I dont expect Blake to play great D, but DJ's rotations
The ease that opposing wings get into the lane
is my assessment wrong?
Zbo has really high shoulders like Elton Brand, if he had a normal sized neck he'd probably be 6'11"
His wingspan is in the 7'3" range, he didn't attend the 01 combine so there's no concrete measurements on him just a lot of between 7'3" and 7'4" numbers thrown around.
He puts his body into shot blockers, plus being left handed can help things a little since he can shield with his right shoulder.
The Clippers have no athleticism on the perimeter, so Jordan is almost always under constant pressure. He's not a great rim protector or anything, but Cp3, Barnes & Crawford is an awful trio on defense and the Cp3, Reddikk, Dudley lineup wasn't any better. Basically it's easy to get exposed for not so great rotations protecting the paint when you're always getting tested in the lane cause your PG, SG and SF are getting beat like drums. If anyone should have traded for Courtney Lee it should have been them, they need defense on the perimeter in the worst way and will get washed by the Spurs and Warriors, and could lose a series to the Suns (Dragic, Bledsoe, Green
). Any team that has more than 1 perimeter weapon is gonna get in their ass in the playoffs.
