I have great awareness and knowledge of schemes and give lots of effort - you don’t want me out there trying to guard anyone in the nba.
As anyone can tell you I am a "wingspan junkie" and it is something I care about massively.
I am not talking about what I want from random, short, out of shape guys sitting on their couches....but what I want from NBA players (guys whose size and athleticism has gotten them to this point).
If an NBA player 1) knows what he is supposed to do on D, 2) does it quickly, and 3) never gives up on a play? That guy is going to be "fine" on the defensive end. And the numbers bear that out for DB in his career.
