Who are our 4 best defenders, and what's our best defensive lineup? My answers: Aminu, Nurk, Collins, Harkless. Our best defenders by position: C: Nurk PF: Collins SF: Aminu SG: Turner PG: Napier
Wouldn't "least bad" be more appropriate? Basically Aminu is our only player you could indubitably describe as a good defender. Collins should be, but KAT was an amazing defender in college and has pretty much sucked in the pros.
Aminu Nurk Turner Harkless I like Collins but he hasn't played a game yet. Best defensive lineup? Dame, Turner, Harkless, Aminu, Nurk Lillard gets too much shit for his defense. CJ is way worse.
good post, but "hasn't played a game yet" is a lazy narrative. Everyone knew LeBron, Shaq, AD, ... would be really good before they played a game.
Didn't Stotts late in the season run with. Turner Crabbe Harkless Aminu Nurk I'd prolly say Turner Harkless Aminu Vonleh Nurk
Those guys were transcendent talents, who had NBA bodies as rookies. I wouldn't use them as a barometer. There's usually an adjustment period.
Yeah it is way too early to consider Collins. He could be a foul machine for his first year, we just don't know yet. Depending on the matchups........ Davis (PF) Harkless (wing, spread 4) Aminu (wing , spread 4) ET (Pg, SG) Nurk (C) Napier (on speedy PG's)
