 Watch him stuff Paul George,  Jamal Murray and more. Really crazy defensive versatility.  Great size and length.

 Hoping he's as good of team defender as he is one on one.

 Also check him dunking on Giannis and othere here. Whats impressive is most of these dunks are coming from the top of the key 3 or 4 dribbles with All eyes on Josh. That's hard to do.

This team should be top 5 this year on defense, and it has to be to be a winning team.  Offense on the other hand could be a struggle because of the lack of scorers and shooting.

We added:

Horford 14 ppg
Kanter 11 ppg
Richardson 12 ppg
Schroder 15 ppg

If it was as simple as plugging in a player's per game averages, we'd be all set. We lack consistent shooting around the Jays going back to last season. You need shooters to space the floor and to make defenses pay for doubling Tatum and Brown. Of the guys we added, Horford is the best shooter on the list and even then he's only average.

 I expect Prichard to go from 8ppg to about 12 ppg. What we are really needing is Prichard and Nesmith to help out as shooters.

 Richardson is also a respectable shooter, Schroder can knock down some shots as well. Horford will really kelp spread the floor.

The weak links on defense Kanter, Parker, Nesmith, and Pritchard it will be interesting to see how much leeway our new coach has with them.  Maybe you won’t see 2 of them together on the court at the same time during meaningful minutes when they get them unless if their defense improves.
