Sorry I forgot the CB 2012 agreed upon weapons are Tumblr pics and one liners about who's the best and who sux.
And in regards to this, unless I actually have to I've been trying to avoid defending my players too much. I'm gonna do that a lot later, and I'd rather crack jokes now. I think Brendan Haywood is a superior defender by a very large margin, predicated in large part by his ability to actually guard opposing centers. On top of that he was a much better help defender in Dallas this season than people thought he could possibly be. Frye brings a very specialized skillset on the offensive end, and I can understand why you wanted to pair him next to a likely future DPOY.
But that said Channing Frye is a punchline I'm allowed to use without context if you're gonna pick on me for starting Brendan Haywood because he got amnestied.
That's just fair turn of play.
And now I feel dumb for explaining all that. Like telling a fish how water is wet.
I think Channing Frye is a better defender (at PF, not C) than he is given credit for.
He makes an average to slightly above average job in several categories -- defensive rotations, pick and roll defense, closing out shooters, can switch effectively onto multiple positions (well above average here), transition defense. In man-to-man defense, he defends perimeter bigs an undersized quick bigs well.
On the negative, I think his rim-protection is weak + he struggles in man-to-man defense against power based players. Physical players.
I think Frye is closer to average defensively than he is given credit for.
