Think it just shows how terrible all defensive stats are, honestly.

He does have Green ahead of Leonard, though. :hat

"Anderson Varejao if he's healthy"

:lol Any time he's played over 30MPG he hasn't lasted more than 31 games
:lol He hasn't been able to handle the Duncan minutes diet since '08
:lol Has started less than 82 games in the last 3 seasons combined
:lol I'm sure he'll be just fine

He's right. Teams usually have 1 or 2 primary scoring options and few teams share the ball too well, so if you have a good defender to put on each of the top scorers and you have the other guys on the court not be complete liabilities, then it'd be difficult to be scored on. I'd only add that it'd also help having a good defender off the bench to guard the other team's off the bench scorer and that'd usually be a perimeter guy, as few teams have solid low post scorers off the bench.

MKG and Gerald Henderson must be gods on defense if they have McRoberts and Al Jefferson behind them.

I don't know why it's so difficult for people to figure out that, offensively Duncan is the PF and Splitter is the C and defensively, Duncan is the C and Splitter is the PF.

As an aside, it'll be the same thing with Noah and Gasol.
