MAVS NEWS:

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

I am curious what you base that on? 

Mavs fan only here (since Donaldson, Brad Davis) who knows little about other mid to low level NBA players/contributors, so it is truly just a curious question.

I'll hang up and listen.  

I'm a Mavs fan from the Nash/Fin/Dirk days.  Originally from NOLA, so the Pels are my second favorite team.

DJJ on defense is a bit more like DFS.  Long.  Naji is a better body-up defender, more covering SFs, PFs, and small Cs.  I'd say their defense is a wash for differing strengths, but Naji has a much more complete offensive game.

Green flies all over the floor on defense.  He's disruptive and looks the part, but not as affective as Grimes.  I'll take Grimes for a POA defender over Green.  There's really no comparison offensively.  As the old adage goes, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  Green is just too hesitant.
