McConnell is powning Rozier now
And yet again.
Rozier's D is as consistent as his streaky shooting.
It's consistently bad that's for sure.. he plays zero on ball defense, it's actually kind of pathetic given his athleticism.. I'm just pretty much done with rozier at this point, same with baynes he doesn't provide anyrhing..
Wait what? Baynes hasn't been good at all this game, but overall he's been great for us this year.
I disagree. Unless we are playing a drummond/jordan/Adams type player he's pretty useless on defense. Can't stay with anyone outside of 5 feet and is pretty awful in the pick and roll game especially when he switches onto the quicker guys. Offensively I thought he had a pretty knockdown midrange shot but he hasn't been as effective with it lately and recently has dabbled with a 3 pointer for some reason
Defensive Rating for every player in the NBA with at least 15 mpg and 10 games played, Baynes is tied for second at 94.9 and tops on the team.
https://stats.nba.com/players/defense/?sort=DEF_RATING&dir=-1&CF=MIN*GE*15:GP*GE*10&Season=2017-18&SeasonType=Regular%20SeasonProbably means he's bad, right? The man he's tied with has only played 11 games as well.
If you pick Baynes out as some sort of problem, especially on defense, I don't know what you've been watching all year. He isn't a perimeter defender but he holds down the paint and that is valuable.
I get people being upset after this game but the targets being chosen to criticize I don't get.
