Re-sign Kanter or sign Draymond Green?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Unfortunately, Green's defensive deficiencies have become even more pronounced as a senior. At 6'7, he is too small to guard elite post players, and lacks the lateral quickness to defend perimeter players, even face-up power forwards at the NCAA level. While his effort and aggressiveness will never be questioned, it is difficult to project him as an adequate NBA defender at this time.

Now the top rated defender in the NBA. What?

Weirdest ish ever. Wasn't he considered a potential defensive liability coming into the NBA? Crazy turnaround in that area.

I don't want to say yes definitively but from what I recall yes simply because of his tweener status and a general lack of conditioning and athleticism, relatively speaking.

I thought defense would keep Green from ever being a key rotation player in the NBA tbh. But that's okay, cuz I think most thought the same.

Always knew he was super smart player doe. Never doubts about making right plays
