Why is it we're going all in on another guard? We need a POA defender with SF/PF length, not SG. How is Grimes better than Green defensively? Advanced stats wise, he's not. Why chase the shinny object?
Length of...
Jrue 6'7"
Grimes 6'8"
Dort 6'8"
Smart 6'9"
Hardy 6'9"
Green 6'10"
PG13 6'11"
Herb Jones 7'
Murphy III 7'
Jaden McDaniels 7'
Eason 7'2"
OG 7'2"
Kawhi 7'3"
Unless Grimes plays with physical abandon like Dort, Jrue, or Smart, I just don't see his being in the discussion of top defender. He just doesn't have the length and has to rely on jock-down defense, which he didn't display last year.
Players we should be targeting to start at the 3...
1. Tari Eason
2. Murphy III
3. H.Jones
By “length” you mean wingspan, right? Cause that quite literally is width. Language is so weird.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
