    FYI, the Spurs' primary defenders opposing FG%:

    Murray- 47.7%
    Anderson- 47.1%
    Gasol- 45.5%
    Green- 44.9%
    Aldridge- 43.5%

    Obviously have to use context, but same applies to using RPM, etc..
    Or people could just learn how to objectively view a game even as a fan. He is at helping. Hes active and long. He hustles. I think hes middle of the pack. Just has to learn technique. Better instinct than i originally anticipated

    20 minutes per game can't give you all defense. Surely you've got to play half the game to even be considered. Aldridge has to be in there, he's the one anchoring the team defense, particularly with his rim protection & the number of minutes he's playing.

    Lol has nothing to do with his issues. He cant pass or shoot. He has low iq and vision.

    His lack of strength make it easy for players to bulldoze their way straight through him....probably his biggest defensive weakness right now

    Lonzo's a gun & had his 3 ball going for once.

    Point is DJ's improving his strength will help him a great deal on both sides of the court.

    Danny has been injured and hobbled through the season. He has been tasked with defending guys bigger than him in the small lineups and maybe it has taken a toll. I agree this hasn t been a great year for him defensively. He has been very inconsistent
    although I was puzzled at first by Pop waffling between starting Gasol or Danny, I think he has had to go back to Gasol bc Danny's not at 100%
    I do wonder if Kawhi had half the balls Manu has and played, or had Gay not been injured, whether Danny gets shut down for a longer period of time to get better. Too bad this injury’s been hampering him.

    I stand by my statement that you have a bias when it comes to Murray so you can save your arguments for someone else.
    Yes, because you're lazy. You're so damned lazy in fact that you read me listing Murray's positives as a contradiction. In your world, I hate DeJounte and thusly could never have anything good to say about him. An actual mature interpretation can allow for a nuanced view.

    But it, right? You've "got a life", and folks with lives can't afford to read things or understand arguments that don't fit into one-sentence takes.

    Looking really silly right now arguing that DJ doesn't need to put on muscle and using that one game as an example. Spurs gamble on DJ is paying off though. He will be powerhouse defensively but will need to tighten his handle and get in the lane if he wants to stay as a pg because he ain't no shooter.

    Lol. Yes. Curry and Durant can over power him at this point. Also, Curry and Durant have are amazing 3 pt shooters. Maybe he doesn't need to be bigger but he definitely needs more strength.

    Not this year, I think I have to agree and change my mind. He certainly gets a huge boost by his rebound numbers, which I am fine with, he but can still improve and likely will. You want to leave something for him to aspire to even when he's been impressive in many games. (He's been lacking in others enough that you want consistency).

    Yes I am unfamiliar with the term RFD. He could definitely benefit from more lower body and core strength so he can absorb more contact on both offense and defense.

    So could all nba players, but his issues would not be solved by just bigger stronger.

    So your against him getting bigger and stronger? There are obviously more things he needs to work on as well.

    Lol. Straight hater I see. He is a good defender and rebounder at least which Jason Kidd was. As a team you run with those skills and mask them with your team while developing the weaknesses. We will see if Spurs trade him over the offseason, it's a possibility.

    Not straight hater of him persay as much as that he was drafted. His only attribute was his transition game per draft express. His stats were inflated due to the pace of his teams play. He literally sucks in transition, yet that is why he was drafted. Just goes to show the most skilled players are not in the nba, its all about the ppg
