Defense is just terrible. I mean this is Byron Scott defense.

Ima catch hate for this but IDC its just my opinion, I don't think Ingram is going to end up being a very good player. Just don't see his game projecting that well over the long term. I'm aware that he's insanely young and not anywhere near where he will be physically but its just a hunch. Hope I'm wrong as **** though. Flame away

I think we need to put an actual PG next to Clarkson..
Whether he's playing with Russell or not... Lou Will next to Clarkson isn't really my favorite thing.
I get on a given night they could go off. But Clarkson will never get the looks he needs to get. NOR do we really know what the hell is going on defensively when those 2 are together

What kind of defense is this? You go under the screen and retreat while Barbosa gets a wide open 3...wtf?

As much as I like Nance, he can't defend at all inside the paint

He has so little strength that he can't be very versatile on offense right now..
Defensively he's been decent, but can be man handled due to lack of sed strength.
On offense, he can't drive in, take contact and get the foul, or even really finish. That impacts so much, even where he has strengths.. He's also struggling with the distance from 3, which could be not only not having to shoot from that distance + strength

I don't understand why Puke benches Mozzy as long as he does.

Len is out there doing damage, but he puts T-Rob and Nance out there to guard him. :x

More of a guy who can guard Stretch 4s, and the occasional 3.
Randle has a little bit more capability for the paint (just lacking the effort) due to physicality.

Clarkson had Randle for a layup. Come on.

JC inconsistent.
Randle inconsistent.
I understand youth but the good start to the season makes me expect more from this group.

If you were trying to make this team better, while trying to maintain flexibility,
Lou Will is the best guy we could include in a package (and not be idiots) to get a return
Tarik (Not sure you need to trade him, but is a good contract, that allows you to match $)
Deng
TRob (Will hurt because I'll always like the guy)
Huertas
They'd all have to go.
And we'd need a Quality Backup PG
A starting Small Forward
A backup Center
(Unfortunately, wouldn't be able to get all 3 from those)

Can't wait for D"Lo and Swaggy to return. Puts Clarkson back in his role as a backup guard for 25 minutes against backup guards instead of 35 minutes against starting guards.

Even with the return of those players,
This lack luster defensive effort has to be fixed.

This team needs a player who sets the tone on defense. They need it badly.
