He may be a better one on one defender but team defense concept is like rocket science to him - thus quick hooks by Snyder numerous times after he screws up. Mudiay at least seems to understand team defense better.
See mate, it's posts like these that get you into hot water, and therefore make any discussion about Dante Exum with you a total slog, if you're going to just completely ignore facts due to your utter hatred of Ex.
Mudiay has a defensive rating average of 111.9 over his six year career ,not including his time with us, and the eye test also backs this statistic up. I've watched him a lot, and I know who he is as a player.
Dante has a defensive rating average of 100.1 over the four years that he has actually played games in, not including this year. The eye test also backs this up.
I haven't included this years statistics because it's still too early, and still a smaller sample size, and also that Ex will probably not look good for maybe another month, maybe more. How would Mudiay look if he was out almost 9 months?
It's completely clear that Dante is a better defender. This year Mudiay has actually applied himself defensively, and I'm proud of him for that. It's too early though and it remains to bee seen yet whether that continues, because let me tell ya, he was horrendous the other day.
MVP, get some perspective. You can still dislike a player, and praise a positive part to his game. I didn't like Rubio here, didn't seem to be a good fit, but I could see his positive impact in some areas.
