There is no "horrible" defender who gets a DRPM of 2.5/0.77/0.95, with Center rank of 12/30/37. The 2.5 was last year, potentially indicating improvement.

You could credibly argue he is below average, but you are wildly exaggerating his weakness.

Euro centers tend to get painted with "no defense stiff" eye-test broad-brush.

Just stop, he’s well below average defensively. Teams with cripplingly bad defensive centers struggle unless they are offensive juggernauts, which he isn’t.

Well, since I said you could credibly argue that he is "below average" and you say he is "well below average" I am glad you are mostly agreeing with me and off your "horrendous" statement.

And no, I won't "just stop," your pseudo bullying makes you look ridiculous

After the draft, you'll have to tell us which centers were so much better. It is a good pick at this draft position.

Orlando Magic team defensive rating was pretty middle of the pack for the NBA. Their offense was one of the worst in the NBA.

I bet there defense down the stretch of close games was pretty bad when teams tend to do a lot of one on one.

You would be incorrect. They have the 6th best defense in the 4th quarter and the best OT defense in the NBA, so they greatly improve down the stretch.

offensive centers get painted with the no defense stiff, not Euro centers. Most Euro centers just happen to be great offensive players

Thanks, but this doesn’t convince me. I want numbers for say the last 2-3 minutes of the fourth quarter of a close game, the overtime numbers are great but it’s a small sample, and analytics can’t always be trusted.
