2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Smitty]

I agree with what was said about that game, and that he is a solid defender, but not what you are inferring.  He DID have 2 blocks in that game against SA... the only 2 in the last 4 games.  Averaged .8 for the last month.  He is a little better at the rim than DFS.  (and less on the perimeter, I would say.)  Overall, they are very similar players - about the closest comparisons to each other in the league that I can think of, including the same height.  Both undersized PF's.  But I don't really want them playing C for us too much.

I didn’t say anything about a center. Winter asked who might check both boxes of defending the rim and wings. Those players are extremely rare. I simply suggest that Washington might be one of those players “question mark”

I can make stats say almost anything also…

Last 8 games: 10 blocks
Last 7 games: 6.4 rebounds
Last 6 games: 13 PPG
Last 5 games: +49

That’s not my point though. And I honestly don’t know if he fits the mold Winter was asking about, hence the question mark. I added the article because the Coach seems to think he checks those boxes.
