D'Angelo is the worst defender by a decent margin amongst that group (TS needs to change the Lakers backcourt poll option). So, D'Angelo/Young by default. Even though Swaggy P has been pretty decent on that end this season.
I tried to change it earlier but I don't know how to delete poll options. So now we have two.
Plus Kyrie seems to pace himself more on defense during the regular season, we saw how much he amped up his defensive activity in the PS - one of the more stronger 1s over that period last season, especialy during the EC-run.
The weird thing though is that Kyrie sucked at defense back when he wasn't making the postseason too. And in 2015 while he was hurting. So far the 2016 postseason was a unique event. Though even then there are things on defense he seems not to know how to do, his on-call bulldogging is good.
And why are Lin and Dinwiddie even an option?
Because they're awesome names. Sound like a comic strip from the '30s or something. They're challenging for 2nd place on name power alone.
I'd go with lillard/McCollum but honorable mention to Rose and Lee. Moreso Rose.
Oh, I definitely wanted to include Rose, but I felt Lee was too good to justify it and didn't know who else gets time back there.
IT too, but all of Boston's other guards are lights out on that end.
Kyrie and Kyle rarely play the 1-2 together
Nah, they been paired together in lineups that force Korver to match the two a good bit. shyt like Kyrie-Korver-Lebron-TT and then Jefferson or Frye or Love.
