re: Monty's defensive scheme

Besides today Ryno has actually played much better defensively. Asik has been the big surprise for me. They can't leave him 1 on 1 with Bogut because Bogut totally outmatched him in every asset of the game, so they switch him over to Curry of all people. What happens? Curry nails the three. Because of that Asik got virtually no minutes past the 3rd quarter, but it didn't help that Ryno was horrible defensively tonight (unless he was on Bogut, which was Monty's main plan I assume.).
If you ask me, Asik was a horrible pickup for the Pels. Yes his rebounding is good, but his defense is very situational. Teams like GSW can easily expose this supposed "defensive" center with ease because their big men are just so much more athletic. Asik brings literally nothing to the table unless he is facing against someone as athletic as himself, such as Zaza Pachulia.
