    I wasn't really talking about one on one matchups with a stretch 4 as far as perimeter defense, I should have been more clear.
    Was more talking about when Aldridge is switched off on a guard on the perimeter.. typically he forces the guard into a long jump shot over his 6"11 frame. some may not consider that good defense but personally I'd rather have a guard take a long jumper over him than get to the rim, draw a possible foul or kick it for three.

    I can see how he at times falls asleep on defense guarding guys like love/Anderson/dirk. The only thing I'll say on that is typically(minus dirk) Love and Anderson come off of down screens. Which are difficult for any big to get around, because that's typically something reserved for guards. It's why I consider Love so overrated.. A big who gets most of his shots by coming off down screens.. while effective isn't a true big imo.
    Maybe that happens because Rubio can't throw a rock in the ocean, maybe it'll change now that adeleman isn't the coach... but that's a entirely different topic.
    I will say, as much as I hate it if Aldridge's minutes don't come down with better bench play.. Griffin will be the best PF. I hate saying that too.
    But right now Aldridge gets the nod.

    Lel at all of these ratings

    Lillard a top 5 point guard? GTFO

    Wes Mathews a top 5 shooting guard? GTFO

    Nic Batum a top 5 small Foward? GTFO

    Aldridge the best power Foward? Lel he isn't top 5

    Robin Lopez a top 10 center? Lel he isn't even top 20

    If all your players were top 10 why didn't you win the championship?

    O yeah that's right it is becuase they aren't.

    Why don't you just admit when your team is ass?

    We assumed you had retired from the internet?

    Although I could also see this being cmeese, since he talks about living in North Carolina.

    Do you really believe Lillard is a top 5 point guard? Paul, Curry, Parker, Westbrick, Dragic, Conley, Lowry, Wall, Bledsoe,Lawson

    Do you really believe Mathews is a top 5 shooting guard? Harden, Wade, Ginobli, Kobe, Thompson, Beal, Stephenson, Derozan, Ellis

    Do you really believe Batum is a top 5 small Foward? James, Durant, Melo, George, Leonard, Parsons(I can go on)

    I was obviously Trolling about Aldridge. He is the best Power Foward in the NBA

    Do you really think Lopez is a top 10 center? Howard, Jefferson, Cousins, Gasol, Bosh, Noah, Gortat, Horford, Brooke Lopez(need I go on)

    Obviously the players I named aren't in order besides the first one in each position and a couple of others

    What? I heard about this site from a different basketball site and we were laughing at how ridiculous your rankings were so I came to see of you were actually serious and sadly you are

    I don't think Lillard is a bad player, and given age I would take him over Parker. However, nothing I said was inaccurate
