With the latest defense highlights from Wemby and Chet, it makes me wonder how Steph Curry will get his shots against five of this guys. Will he shoot only long range 3s? Because anything inside the arch will be covered by long wingspans. What do you think?

Literally nothing will change.Wemby is decent on the perimeter for his size, but any decent guard is absolutely cooking him if he’s ur best perimeter defender. There’s also no way 5 long dudes are able to cover anything close to everything inside the arc and in the modern game they won’t even get the chance to try unless they wanna give up a bunch of 3s. Additionally, defensive 3 seconds means layups are still 100% viable even if the other team ignores the perimeter.

Are Klay and Curry no longer decent guards? Because they were not cooking him.

I saw elie okobo cook that guy. I saw Jabari smith Jr score on him multiple teams in preseason. I saw Brandon Miller shoot over him and drop him in preseason. What do u think will happen when he guards the best pg of his generation? He will get completely torched. Just wait until they play the Mavs Kyrie and Luka are going to take turns on his ass.

Klay is not cooking anybody at this point in his career but I’m sure Steph will on an average night.

Sounds like the 2019 Raptors.

The raptors had two midgets though.

Despite being good defenders for their positions, they weren’t shot blockers

Five great defenders, but only one seven footer, and not an especially agile one at that.

He’d shoot a ton of deep 3s which is a great shot for him. Plays ti his strengths. Wouldn’t be a fun night for that team defensively.

Curry shooting only deep 3s plays into his strength, not the defense.
