Ugly
Same tired old rhetoric. Cherry picking stats to devalue the best player on the team. Alp was a good defender last year, by every metric and by...
That’s my mentality as well. I have a feeling he has the same keep your head down and work type mentality.
Reed hasn’t done much in the league…..yet. But he is far more talented than any player in the summer league roster. That isn’t even debatable
Iron sharpens iron. If he ducks the best, then he’s not built for it. Can’t worry about confidence. I think he has the right mentality to wanna...
He isn’t remotely a bad defender. Nothing backs that claim up
I agree. But I don’t think it’s ability, as much as mindset. He has to buy into team defense first, then get to the gambling aspects.
Not sure where the incorrect rhetoric that Reed was a poor defender. His per 100 deflections/steals/blocks are among the league leaders. He just...
No he’s not. We have some “fans” that don’t know ball.
When Gobert and Bane go for that, Alp without a doubt goes for that.
All of them? You can’t find a defensive metric that says he was below average. Most were very good. Including on/off. Your point loses validity...
Exactly. The handle is what’s going to have to improve so his athleticism translates on court
You’re an idiot.
Al Jefferson was the key to that trade and he never made an all star team. Much less at 22 in a stacked division
Yeah, none of the players traded for KG were Alp level.
Anyone that wants to gut this team for a 3 year window to just start over isn’t a Rockets fan, or on the short bus
Not sure what stats you’re looking at. According to NBA.com, Alp had the 3rd best defensive rating on the team for players logging real minutes....
Alp is plenty athletic. Also, one of the best defenders on the team. His offense needs to come back to his norms.
Yeah, it’s not realistic at all.
Braun would be elite on this team. 3&D SG with finishing ability. Daniels would be redundant but Ime would love him
