re: We have officially arrived, and the league knows it.

Glad I’m not the only one that sees it. They are both great. Glad to have both.

And I think you are right, Herb has more athleticism which gives him the ability to gamble, recover and also make splashier steals and blocks.

Dyson is long and athletic in his own right, but early on it just seems like he does not make mistakes or get baited by shot fakes. Dude just stays home and is a pain in the arse.

I’m looking forward to defensive lineups at the end of a game/game sealing possession that involve Herb and Dyson.

And we also have Jose, Naji, Nance, and Trey that can be elite switchable components to a defensive stop lineup. (Maybe you shouldn’t switch Jose, but he’s great in his own right.)

Ingram also has length and shows a pulse on defense sometimes. Maybe Zion will once he gets more fully acclimated and doesn’t have to think instead of react. CJ has been locked in on defense. Hayes randomly plays like an animal on defense sometimes. Jonas can end possessions with his rebounding.

For the first time in awhile as a fan of this franchise, I think we can get a defensive stop or two if we need them.
