Sure, it sucks against the Durants/Lebrons


correct. I feel pretty good about Jrue covering pretty much ever SF in the league outside of Durant, Lebron and Kawhi. That's what Tony Allen and Dante are for.

The luxury of having Jrue is that he is capable of guarding most 6'7" guys playing SF. I watched Jrue switch to guys like Gasol and Porzingis and force them to settle for turn around jumpers from 6-8 feet. I'm confident with Jrue covering anyone, outside of the few unguardable guys in the league like Durant, Lebron, Kawhi, Westbrook.

I might add Gordon Hayward & PG13 to that short list but even then thats only 5. Allen and Cunningham can hold there own, especially if we improve defensively at other positions on the court.

For example, against GSW I'd assume Rondo is on Curry, Jrue on Klay, Tony Allen on Durant, AD on Iggy or Draymond, and Boogie on Zaza. At least defensively, that's not bad at all. We could do a lot worse. Offensively however.....
