That's A question, not THE question. Another question that could be asked is, "Is it worth it to sacrifice a little talent at the PF position for a...
In an homage to BGD, may I present you with... [img]
First let me make clear that I'm not arguing that Hickson is a good defender. There, done. Now, Griffin and Lee hand many defenders' asses to them -...
Agreed - this, along with a C and a bench are our 3 most glaring weaknesses. I think team defense is first, and foremost, a coaching issue and not a...
I use to give the (slight) nod to LMA on defense, but now I'm not so sure. Both are abysmally poor at team/help defense, so we'll just call that a...
Agreed. But it's also misleading to dismiss Hickson's rebounding by saying the team is better at rebounding without him. That shouldn't detract...
As evidenced by LMA, SGs are the new PFs.
Then what does that make LMA? Their defensive rating is essentially the same (slight edge to Hickson), and Hickson is guarding players he's...
That would be all fine and dandy, except there really isn't any available talent that would push any of our starters to the bench. I think we're...
Yeah, I think we've proven thus far that we can play quite well without a starting C. But we can't play, period, without a half-way decent bench....
Oh, I totally get that. Never doubted that for a second. I just seem to remember a whole lot of questionable draft picks made while Chad was "lead...
I'd be interested to know. I suspect not, but perhaps.
Were people on here clamoring for him to be have the "interim" tag lifted and be given the GM position permanently? If so, were they the same people...
I wouldn't mind if he was our 6th-man. But Wes is a better starter - and definitely fits better with Nic and Damian.
Seriously, the per36 numbers show they are essentially as effective as each other with LMA scoring more points, Hickson getting more rebounds and...
Then how does LMA have a 107 rating and Hickson a 105 rating?...
You guys love to throw DRtg around - how is it that Hickson has a better rating than LMA, but that gets overlooked? How does it get overlooked that...
That doesn't say anything about his defense, but rather the defense of the players he plays with. If you just watch the game you'll see that he's...
No, he's a TERRIBLE team-defender. He's an adequate man-defender. And according to defensive rating, it's essentially a wash with Hickson having the...
That's the thing though, LMA's defense isn't much better - if any.
