If nerlens signed the mavs offer would he be starting?

 

[D StaXX]

Dirk can’t guard 4s anymore.

Dirk can't really guard anyone though.
We're going to get killed with pick and rolls & on the boards.

If nerlens signed the mavs offer would he be starting?

No doubt.

 

[addict4sneakers]

When has he ever been able to guard anyone though?

2011 Playoffs

Swept the Lakers on the way

 

[Moheezy]

Nerlens should be starting. Bring Wes off the bench.

I'm not sure if it's more about Harrison Barnes being better at 4 than the roles of Mathews, Dirk and Noel. I haven't watched any Mavs games so this is just an assumption.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I’m tempted to place a bet on DSJR for Roy but Lonzo might be a slightly safer bet.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Rush the process

Is Draymond quick enough to guard traditional 3s?

Is Draymond quick enough to guard traditional 3s?

Yep, in todays NBA.

What is a 3 anyways? I think your either a 2 or a 4. New NBA Logic.

Prolly just end up getting in foul trouble

It's between DSJ and Zo no doubt.

 

[hardens beard]

I would think so, he switches on to every PG on PNR.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I don’t think Draymond could guard any of the top tier guys full time. (Like hold them to their averages)

We saw KD frying it up consistently

I got you, B

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Jonathan Isaac will be.

How come nobody is that high on Josh Jackson anymore?

Before the draft ALOT of you *****s were acting like he could/should be a #1 pick.

No suns fans to pump their own

Can't imagine Barnes playing any better than he did as a 3 last season

 

[niceshoes247]

Laker talk?

 

[rbk93]

Yep, in todays NBA.

Barnes is definitely a 3. Draymond is a tweener. If I have another example of a 3, DeRozan.

Prolly just end up getting in foul trouble

Depending on who, it's a good chance.

These are all offensive highli...you know what nevermind.

Don’t need to bring up defense when you’re averaging 25/9/2 with 57/73/94 splits in a 4 game series.

 

[lynchpin33]

Can't wait for the players to circumvent this. Pointless ruling.

#Popoviching
Still going to happen. Would like to attend a game this season, but not going to take chances to see end of the bench guys. Want to see how it works going forward.

That wasn't the point. You brought up his defense. You said he can't guard 4s anymore as if he's been able to guard 4s or any othe position for that matter. Everybody knows he's one of if not the most skilled big offensively in history.

 

[ill steelo]

Nerlens should be starting. Bring Wes off the bench.

Yikes @ Dirk at the 5

They should have a solid offense tho. DSJ is legit

But at this point he’s better off guarding Centers for the 20 mpg he’s going to play. Him starting is purely cosmetic anyways.

And the floor spacing will be God level with him on the floor for DSJ. That’s great defense if you ask me. Your rim protector can’t do his job as well out to the line
