george hill bad defense but he has produced offense
That whole team is terrible on defense... not sure that is an indictment on Hill.

yeh the stats gets skewed when an entire team defense craps it self as a unit, but with the jazz rubio has been getting BUMPED up higher on the defensive scale than his actual court perception due to the Jazz playing decent defense

also, you can see the celtics chart, haywards defense is rated + b/c the celtics team defense is able to cover a lot of what he does, but the eye test he has been very average or below on defense for the celtics.

I think it's fair to say that the team doesn't have anything going right now. I don't see an identity. And, frankly, I don't see a lot of talent asserting itself, either.

I would just think we see us getting lit up night after night because of shooting big men and PnR ball handlers and we'd see two things:
- We need to play with one shooting big or a big wing that can stretch the floor.
- The defense of just funneling everything to Gobert needs to adjust. Either more resistance or he needs to challenge more shots... or both.
We need a lineup adjustment... if it doesn't improve we need a personnel adjustment.
Andy Larsens wrote a nice article summarizing things. His Triple Team from last night was pretty spot on.

The Raps went from playing Ibaka and JV together a ton last year, to alternating this year and almost never sharing the floor... both guys are thriving... the team is doing much better.
We have to put more playmaking and shooting on the floor... whether it comes through moving away from two bigs or moving away from Rubio... we have better options adjusting the bigs.
No real reason to pussyfoot around it... but we will.
