As I said in the other post, Royce seems a good defender compared to DM, Bojan, Ingles, Clarkson, Mudiay. All those are putrid on defense.
Maybe Oni is not so good too, but compared to the those he seems DPOY.
 
You'd think Niang would look good in these minutes if he were an NBA-caliber rotation player.
 
Oni really getting cooked on defense right now. He's dying on every single screen... got to show something.
 
I love DM, but still stand by my assessment based off of what I've seen. You *** hats that try to predict the future or get mad when people say what they see are delusional.

Again, I love DM but the kid isn't top tier. I love Rudy too but remember when dumb ****s roasted me for saying he's tradable for the likes of AD. How did that age? @NUMBERICA
When was Rudy ever tradable for AD?
 
It's really easy to talk yourself into these end of the bench guys when they don't play. Much harder to do so when they get clapped by other end of bench guys.

I think it would be different story if you put 1-2 on the court with the starters/top 7.

This. The starters lack the energy and athleticism of the these younger players while the younger guys lack the experience and more importantly communication of the older players. Combine the two and you shouldn't have blow by after blow by on the more senior players or too much gambling by the younger guys. Its about finding the right balance which will change from game to game based on the opponent. Judging them when already down 25 points with the opposition full of confidence is as stupid as judging them when they come off the bench for us when we are 25pts up.
