I love the players on your team. And I think they'd work really well together. That being said. I'd have some questions about their defensive abilities

I think they're really underrated defensively. Paul George became a star on defense alone, but now he's more known for his offense...he's still one of the best two-way players in the league. he's also still very young (26), so these next three years should be his prime.

Kristaps is a good on the defense. Maybe not low-post against a Demarcus Cousins, but he's already one of the best help defenders in the league. It certainly helps that he's young and athletic, and he's a legit shot-alter-er. He says he is motivated to become even more athletic this summer, so that should help. But in terms of bball IQ, he knows what he's doing

Pau Gasol is notoriously known for being soft, yet he clearly knows what it takes to play at a championship level defense (Lakers). He also posted up a top ten Defensive Real plus-minus last year..http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/sort/DRPM/position/9

Having two 7 footers that can move around in my front court helps. Also, Myles turner is quickly developing into one of the better shot blockers in the league already.


Also, like you said, chemistry/capability to play well together should not be an issue. Literally everyone in my team can shoot/move. Spacing will be great. it also helps that I picked players that have proven they can play at a great level together: Dame/CJ/Wes, Paul George/Myles turner/George Hill


My defense at the guards suffers a bit. I'm hoping Wes can return to his elite level of perimeter defense like he was in Portland. Last year was his first year off injury, so im hoping an extra year of conditioning will help him in that regard.



Sorry for the extra long post, but thats my thinking. what do you all think

I agree for the most part. I think Pau's defense will regress soon. But like I said. I love your team.

He's most likely retiring. Off chance he plays 1 more year.



He was just as good this year as he was 5 years ago lol just played a bit fewer minutes.

Rank these guards best to worst and tell me roughly your opinions or a rating out of 10 or something:

Rondo
Jrue
Iggy
Beal


tyvm

No way. You saw him severely decline at the end there

He was still one of the best defensive players in the league this year, didn't see what you're saying at all.

Opinions on my guards btw? Wondering what jsp thinks of them because they seem to have a wide range of opinions.

depends on the team they're playing on bro....


beal has the highest peak

jrue is the best right now, but is injury prone

rondo is 2nd best, but is injury prone/chemistry issues

iggy is a solid facilitator/defender on a good team
