Rodney Hood Going Hard!

As has been stated many times already, Burks' issue in defending isn't that he's slow. It's that he's dumb. Guarding PGs shouldn't be any more of an issue than him guarding anyone else. At least he would have to stay focused on his man more and have a size advantage.

Yup

Yup

We're also talking about mostly backups, and he'd generally have a great rim protector behind him as well. Him guarding the position is way down the list of my concerns about him picking up some slack if Burke gets traded off.

Would be interesting with those guys behind him if coach told him to go ahead and gamble a bit on the outside. If we get deflections and actually push the ball Alec is a great finisher on the break.
