ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[Jommybone]

This flagrant abuse of small sample size +/- is probably making even Kamm blush

McGee played with bench guys.  You know, defensive studs like Cam Payne, Cam Johnson and Shamet.  Those three were -6.6, -8.3 and -10.8 for the playoffs compared to McGee's -4.1, but it was all McGee's fault?  The D-Ratings in the playoffs for those three were 117, 119 and 119 compared to 112 for McGee, but it was him who got "played off the floor".  

McGee had by far the best D-Rating of any Sun regular at 102 during the season (in which the Suns were the #3 ranked D at 107.3).  I think the concerns over McGee's D are exaggerated.  I'd be much more worried about how we are going to guard Jokic, Towns or Valanciunas inside if we didn't have him.

Like this post a lot except for lumping in Landry Shamet with the defenseless Phoenix bench mob. That dude can defend just fine. Don’t remember him in the series well enough to say he did defend. But he is a capable defender. If he were here, he’d get burn.
