I actually think we might be more switchable on defense with this roster than we've been the last few years.

Lol wut? Joe won't care about his role, he'll do whatever he's asked to do and won't complain, publicly or privately.
Probably overall, yes. And maybe on the wings generally. But among starters I feel less comfortable with Conley switching than I did with Rubio, and I feel less comfortable with anyone switching onto a center than I did with Favors.
Favors was very versatile. He was much better at switching onto smaller players than Gobert.
Rubio was just bad on defense last year so see no way a healthy Conley is worse switching or not on defense.

One of the great mysteries in the league is Rubio's reputation for great defense. He has good size for a pg, I guess, but he always seemed to be getting worked by any player with a pulse. Whatever we lose in 3 inches of Ricky defensively will more than be made up for from a point who can actually hit shots.

His annoying FRED FIGGLEHORN voice for one.
His willingness to plagiarize colleagues ideas and admit it.
His sell out show.
His douchebag attitu.....wait! Are you David Locke???
It never ceases to amaze me how people complain about FREE content.

17/18 rubio were a good defensive pg (even if in certain matchups he suffered some), but last season rubio really had problems to staying in front of other teams pgs, and/or leading them to gobert help d (and blocks)

Completely agree. His D was quite an eye opener and not in a good way. I feel a little the same way about his passing.
Yeah his passing definitely wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

He was much better passing as the play grew more disorganized, which is why he did better in Minny and will do OK in Phoenix. I just never understood how he seemed unable to throw a freaking lob to Rudy. I think I could throw a lob to Rudy, Exum seems pretty good at it.
