Because he's too small to actually play SG in the NBA.How is Harden an SG playing PG and Kyrie is not?
Seriously, that's the only reason.

Yeah that was a really bizarre comment. A guy who was literally guaranteed to be minimum Mike Conley would be the #1 pick in every draft of the last decade. This person doesn't understand what "floor" means.To imply that Fox's floor is Mike Conley would insinuate that Fox should be the number 1 pick.
What you are saying is if Fox doesn't reach his potential/ceiling, he'll at minimum be Mike Conley. That's ******* asinine. He's gunna have to work stupid hard to become Mike Conley.
I've watched Ball all year, as bad as it sounds, it was all year...
Defense isn't what he's known for, everyone knows that. I'm saying the attention to defense will be drilled in more at the pro level.
It's hard to get to those one and done kids when they're mindset is on the NBA. They don't learn those fundamentals.
And I wasn't using that to support the argument, I just don't think Fox would beat Ball in a 1-on-1 as easily as you guys do.
Carmelo Anthony was better than LeBron James when they were drafted.
What happened with that?
lillard/cjLonzo/DLo will be the slowest footed backcourt in the league. Backcourt will be a defensive turnstile.
Klay is an excellent defender. Lillard, CJ, Curry yes.
lillard/cj
curry/klay
are pretty bad defensively

It's funny you mention mindset when talking Ball vs. Fox. Ball loses in the Sweet 16 to Kentucky and he's literally announcing he's leaving for the draft off the rip. Didn't even see the guy show an ounce of emotion towards the loss.
Fox loses to UNC in the Elite 8 and he's crying his heart out with his teammates at his locker cause he's so devastated with the loss.
Gimme the guy who's gonna leave it all on the line and wants to win 24/7 versus the guy who's just going through the motions and happy to be there.

Yes, he's well above average. Klay is a very good on-ball defender. He's been considered one of the best at his position for years.
excellent ...cmon son
i like Klay a lot but excellent to me means above average and i dont see that
i agree but we were talking about the backcourt, not team defenseBut this is where excellent overall team defense comes into play. Warriors as a whole can make up for the defensive inadequacies of Steph/Klay due to how good the overall team defensive dynamic is.lillard/cjLonzo/DLo will be the slowest footed backcourt in the league.

Am I living on a different planet? Why are you guys saying Klay Thompson is a bad defender?But this is where excellent overall team defense comes into play. Warriors as a whole can make up for the defensive inadequacies of Steph/Klay due to how good the overall team defensive dynamic is.
Some people aren't built like that, I.E. Kobe, Duncan, Kawhi.It's funny you mention mindset when talking Ball vs. Fox. Ball loses in the Sweet 16 to Kentucky and he's literally announcing he's leaving for the draft off the rip. Didn't even see the guy show an ounce of emotion towards the loss.

That's my point...Lebron was only considered the best prospect in like forever
You could have chosen a better comparison. Dwight Howard vs. Emeka Okafor, for example.
That's my point...
Ball is the better prospect than Fox.
LeBron was the better prospect than Melo even though Melo's game was more NBA ready at the time.
Melo did have a better rookie year overall than Lebron tho (Melo was the Leading scorer/best player on a west playoff team), that R.O.Y shoulda been his but Bron was the chosen oneHe wasn't a better player when they were drafted?
What? Is this a serious question? Melo was never considered a better prospect or player than Lebron.
What is going on here...
wait what?

Says who???Not to mention, defensive intensity is something that CAN'T be taught. Either you have it, or you don't.
Gonna be some **** if Lonzo ends up being a souped up version of Greivis Vasquez.
That's a great example as well, probably right.
