Best Blazer Defenders

[Wizard Mentor]

Who are our 4 best defenders, and what's our best defensive lineup?

My answers:
Aminu, Nurk, Collins, Harkless.

Our best defenders by position:
C: Nurk
PF: Collins
SF: Aminu
SG: Turner
PG: Napier

Wouldn't "least bad" be more appropriate?

Basically Aminu is our only player you could indubitably describe as a good defender. Collins should be, but KAT was an amazing defender in college and has pretty much sucked in the pros.

Aminu
Nurk
Turner
Harkless

I like Collins but he hasn't played a game yet.

Best defensive lineup?

Dame, Turner, Harkless, Aminu, Nurk

Lillard gets too much shit for his defense. CJ is way worse.

good post, but "hasn't played a game yet" is a lazy narrative. Everyone knew LeBron, Shaq, AD, ... would be really good before they played a game.

 

[H.C.]

Didn't Stotts late in the season run with.
Turner
Crabbe
Harkless
Aminu
Nurk

I'd prolly say
Turner
Harkless
Aminu
Vonleh
Nurk

Those guys were transcendent talents, who had NBA bodies as rookies. I wouldn't use them as a barometer. There's usually an adjustment period.

Yeah it is way too early to consider Collins. He could be a foul machine for his first year, we just don't know yet.

Depending on the matchups........
Davis (PF)
Harkless (wing, spread 4)
Aminu (wing , spread 4)
ET (Pg, SG)
Nurk (C)
Napier (on speedy PG's)

Nobody is great, but these are our best defenders.

When I want a stop I put in this lineup on 2K.
