I think it’s mostly in the game plan. I think they are trying to push him in a certain direction.

Regardless, this is not the game to call DFS out for not playing hard, because he is working out there, imo.

Not questioning his effort. More about the gameplan against Giannis. Giannis is unstoppable but maybe giving him a little bit more space and daring him to shoot would make it easier to stay in front of him. We have seen some extrem versions of this in the past. With guys like Simmons or Horford camping in the paint. I don´t think that is an option for a smaller player like DFS. And it also allows Giannis to attack at full speed.

Anyway. Maybe not the right place for a deep how to defend Giannis conversation.
