“Defensive player of the year is hyped he shut down a rookie in his 15th game”
I don’t blame him for getting hyped but he should be doing that. It’d be like prime Steph curry celebrating that he made a 3 over rookie year Luka.
The title undersells this. It's not just shutting down a rookie
He went from defending a corner shooter to being a rim protector to backside helper to midrange contester in the span of 10 seconds.He guarded multiple players on the perimeter AND in the paint all by himself within 1 possession.
I've watched basketball for a long time, and I can't remember the last time I've seen a guy guard multiple players all over the court all by himself.
