his defensive improvement is the best thing i’ve seen from this team all season

I always had the impression that he was a great defender, was he a good defender before now he’s a great one?

The way he has been used this season compared to last year is the biggest difference. He was guarding guards way to much last year now he has been put on more forwards and has had more chance as a weak side rim protector which is one of his best skills.

He is also moving his feet on the perimeter a lot better and is better at when to pressure and when to not.
