Raising a 30th-ranked defense to 29th is going to be a tough sell, even though the raw numbers look like DPOY stuff.

Thanks to everyone not named Sochan, Wemby and Champanie being mediocre to terrible on D... Frustrating but I'm sure it'll improve throughout the season

Vassell is a good defender.

He's mostly been okay, kind of regressed on D since his rookie season. I wouldn't see him as a plus defender at this time based on eye test and numbers that I checked a little while ago
