The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

[HeatCheck]

My buddy in Atlanta texted last night to say Hawk fans are considering sending a gift basket to Ainge for taking John Collins' contract off their hands. Jalen Johnson is really looking good now that he's getting the minutes. He outplayed Banchero last night.

How can San Antonio have the worst defense when they have Wemby, Vassell and Sochan?

Vassell is injured and the rest of their guards are chuckers/non defenders. Just my thought after only watching 2 of their games. Keldon Johnson isn't much of a defender and not sure he's a great long term fit with Wemby either.

Is Wemby the best individual defender in the league yet?

Wemby is a lock to win ROY. His only real competition is Ben Simmons.

I heard some “expert” calling him a 3 and D guy in some preseason preview and I cackled.

That’s a hilarious clip.

Its worse. Adrian Griffin said it and also said about his role as a starter:
“He’s going to have to take the toughest assignments most nights.”

Explains Bucks D being one of the worst. Dame + Malik PoA defense ftw.

Coach Griffin makes head-turning statement about Bucks’ Malik Beasley

Following the Milwaukee Bucks' preseason victory over the Chicago Bulls, Coach Griffin gave a very interesting statement about Malik Beasley.

Next time you're feeling bad about our perimeter defenders just remember we could still be playing this guy.

Laughed my *** off with this one. Great clip.

I'm pretty sure you're joking, but he's extremely good, despite how bad his team is.

Of players who defend at least 10 fga/game he has the 3rd best field goal % differential after Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels.

FYI, here is the same stat, but just for Rookies (had to adjust the DFGA to >7 to include more players:

That's impressive. Yeah I was being facetious but I'm expecting him to be in the top 10 at least.
