What's new

Let's show em' how it's done in Detroit tonight

Hayward and Favors are our only starters with a negative Net DFG%…Burke, Kanter and Burks are all struggling defensively.
 
Kanter isn't terrible at defending the post. It's when he has to defend in space or gets pulled into a PnR that the wheels come off. Completely.
 
Kanter is bad at defense when quick decisions have to be made. Mainly just awful pick n' pop defense and poor closeouts.
 
Dante has to learn how to navigate screens. When he was matched up against Jennings, they were putting him in pick and rolls every time down the court. He also has to get down into a proper defensive stance. As Jordan Farmar showed, Dante can be crossed pretty easily playing so upright.

Interesting observations...I'll have to keep a lookout on this stuff.
