This might tick you off a bit, but I think Dyson is a better defender than Herb. Of course he would need to prove it over the course of a season, but from what I see Day 1 Dyson is clearly better than Day 1 Herb defensively.

Herb Jones leaves his feet too early to bite on pump fakes at times (his recovery speed is nice though). He especially did this a lot early in the season last year.

Dyson is incredibly fundamentally sound defensively at age 19. It’s unbelievable.

No problem here. Daniels may eventually be a better defender than Herb. If so, Pels will be in pretty good shape defensively with 2 players on the All-Defensive team every year. At least 2nd team...if not 1st. I just wanna see Daniels be ready by playoff time...Herb will need the help, considering how weak we are overall, on defense.

I've been saying this and absolutely agree.

Herb's advantage is his length, extension, and superior athleticism. Herb is going to block more shots, and his long arms result in lots of deflections.

But Dyson's footwork is incredible. In a one-on-one situation, Dyson is going to be better at staying in front of his man.

Yes, Dyson is going to be better than Herb.

10 weeks later Sam Vecenie, wrote an entire article about this very observation that basically everyone minus GOP and Dinky completely blew off.
