If he went 0/17 in a pickup no defense game, he'd deserve every bit of what ever criticism he got. He's not putting up the same production in a regular game with offensive sets and defense. Not a great argument.
If u ask Wolves fans what they think of Lavine, they will mirror what most say about Lavine. Capable and talented enough to be a stud, but he is dumb as rocks and makes too many dumb plays. He shoots when he should pass and passes when he should shoot. This is coming from those fans that watch his every game.
No!! Hack is not some typical American. I always figured u were an American, if not that's typical foreign hate on Americans for the actions of a few IMO. ****'s far from unique.
I've always enjoyed what you've had to say weather I agree or not, but this is just stupid and maybe u should've stayed ascended or whatever. Wow!! Makes u look bad.

Yet he has a better ast/to ratio than Neto while being a much better scorer and rebounder. And is 3 years younger.

Jazz fans love to use the word potential when it comes to jazz players but Lavine is done growing as a player right? No room for improvement? Be honest this a true statement I just said

I do want to say this about Jeremy Evans. What a talented drawer he is..I didn't know that about him. If anyone say the Talent show at all star weekend did you see that 2pac one he did? It was really good.

All three of him, burke, and Neto suck on defense. That said, What doesn't suck is that he has the physical attributes to be a passable defender in the future. Our two micros will never get bigger.

nearly every NBA player has the physical attributes to be a passable defender. There are players with Kanter's dimensions that are demons on the defensive end. Conversely, Hayward has the measurements that 100% portrayed him as being a minus defender in the NBA.
He's garbage on defense primarily thanks to the one thing that he can't fix-- his brain. He plays like a moron, and he gives minimum effort on defense. He's worse than Neto, and at best on the same level as Burke.
The funny thing is that Burke actually has pretty good length for a PG. 6'5.5 wingspan is bigger than average. He just plays kind of small because he isn't explosive or quick.

Meh. A good defensive system can hide it sway these things. He's really not any worse defensively than burke or Neto, with more potential, offensive weapons, speed, rebounding etc.
I'd have to look at the numbers but id wager that curry had poor defensive numbers on the Monta led warriors. Now he's the leader of the best defense in the NBA. Systems matter defensively. That, and that we have been fine defensively with poor defense from the pg already. Our defense would remain the same while seeing a jump offensively and offering more potential gains down the road
