Lol at the idea of nance being a good defender right now
I only watched the first half of that ugly game. Caruso, Caldwell-Pope and Randle were the only ones that seemed to do anything right on that end. Kuzma had a few moments.
Nance just kept biting on fakes or getting beat off the dribble
Clarkson is god awful. And it's all the way he moves defensively. When he's guarding someone with the ball, he turns with the ball handler. That's how it should be, you should always be between the man and the basket. Except clarkson turns so much that after a while he is no longer between the man and the basket. At that point the ball handler can just walk past him or get fouled. wtf

| each player can get better, it is up to the defensive mindset the team needs to incorperate to keep games from getting out of control. |

I could probably move a player up one or down one....but pretty much how I see it. I guess I have not really paid attention to Ennis much on defense....is he really that bad? Bryant is just always lost, which is not that unexpected and Zubac is too slow. |

on the ball, probably....but he at least has a feel of the game off the ball...Bryant always looks totally lost unless he just happens to be standing in front of the guy with the ball. |

Saw last night's game and was frightened by Nance's nothingness, Lopez' continued absence and the overall appearance of low effort given on defense.
Ranking the guys right now feels futile.

Which is weird because last season at this time, Nance looked like he was coming in to his own. |

Ton of you are leaving Caruso out of your rankings. He's one of the only positives, though he gambles a lot

He goes through stretches like this. I'm not too worried about him. |
