Mavs Rookies G-League Watch: Green, Terry, Bey & Hinton

[Kammrath]

Players who are poor defenders OTOH never turn into good defenders.

That's not true.

Two quick examples:

1) JJB was one of the worst defenders in the whole NBA and eventually figured out how not to be a liability.

2) Ben Simmons was a poor defender coming out of college and has now developed into the best perimeter defender in the NBA IMO. 

Shooting can be learned, defense can be learned. It just takes the right dedication and focus.
