Will be interesting if it's just for the first 5-6 minutes. Also how much of a hit does his offense take exerting much more energy on defense?
Don't listen to all of these fool talking heads. Klay has fallen off that much. People keep saying that he fell off a cliff. That's because he chose Dallas over LA. He's still an 80 out of 100 on defense. It's just that he was a 95 out of 100 in his prime. He can still defend very well. I only consider DJJ about an 85 on defense by comparison.
Last year Klay was running guys like that into help defense. He never could stay in front of guys that were that fast. But, he can still slide them into help as well as block from the back side with his length.
Find me at Lakersball.com. I'm done with the Nico and the Mavs.
