I was picturing Rodney Rogers in my head... don't know much about Roy Rogers...

Love the Roy Rogers hire too. Quality staff forming. I know this really will piss a lot of people off but it’s good.

Since I know very little about his knowledge base and accomplishments, can you fill me in on why you are high on this move?

so he’ll be chaunceys defensive coordinator. Cool? Looks like he’s been part of some good defensive squads, like Boston.

I dont know much about him, but saw some clippers fans responding bummed about him leaving, fwiw.

From what I know - he’s been around the league for a long time and had a chance to learn from a variety of coaches. He’s always thrown out as a name as a candidate for a staff and wouldn’t be if he wasn’t quality. Played in the NBA. He’s a big man - played at high level in the post and will bring that to the bigs on the roster. He will be good for Nurk if he’s here.

No idea who that is, but I’ll keep an open mind.

At first I thought it was Rodney Rogers, and was confused since he's paralyzed.
 
Clippers had a top 10 defense with a bunch of guys in and out of the lineup. So not bad I guess.

Kawhi, PG13, Pat Bev, Batum, Rondo, Ibaka... even when not fully healthy, that roster is loaded with good defenders. I would expect them to be top 3 on talent alone.

Kawhi and PG missed almost 30% of the season each. Beverly missed over half. Ibaka missed half. Rondo only played 18 games. Of course their personnel is good when healthy, but I think you’re discounting how hard it is to have guys in and out of the lineup all the time and still maintain defensive competency.

Having watch the Blazers the last few seasons, I can assure you I'm aware of the impact of an unstable lineup. Though many here seemingly do not agree with you and I that our instability (and roster makeup) was a major cause for our defensive ranking.

Either way... the Clippers shoud've been a top 3 defense (if fully healthy). Being Top 10 with their injuries seems reasonable; not great or horrible. My opinion.

Good at dapting Simmons to being a big man and making us a defensive minded roster.

Don’t really agree with that. Kawhi and George are not all league defenders anymore, at least in the regular season. Beverly has always been overrated. People thought Batum was completely washed. Either way, I’m not attributing their defensive success to Rogers, but if Rogers can at least make the players play up to their defensive potential then I’m good enough with that. Our personnel was awful, but I don’t think anyone would agree we should have been 29th awful.

You know Kawhi made his 7th all defensive team this year, right?

Fair enough, but I think his reputation is better than his actual production on that end at this point. Doesn’t change the point that Rogers has to suddenly make this roster a top 10 defense. That’s probably not possible with the current personnel. But should not be 29th.

Agreed. Without roster moves they are unlikely to be top 10. With Nurk available they should be better than 29th.

I dont know enough about Rogers or how Billups will use him to provide a solid estimation for his impact on our defensive rating next year. I hope he makes us #1 though!
