I've shown numerous videos of his faceup game looking like a sf and not having a pf's post game. I've showed videos of his foot speed and controlling the ball on fast breaks. I've quoted him saying he could play the 3.
I never said he'd be an elite defender, but he's a versatile athletic tweener .. Everyone just rules him out for the reason that "he can't guard nba 3s". That's a bold statement to make with no evidence. I'm sure if he works hard, and we don't let someone iso him and take a bunch of dribbles, he won't have a problem with defence and will excel at rebounding.

And how about the converse of your statement, nba sfs won't be able to guard him. He's the most offensively gifted player in the draft. We need another go to guy. + our coaching staffs strong point is teaching defense

This makes him a 3? Numerous good players can do whatever they want in college. Shaq used to lead fast breaks. That doesn't mean their talent is better suited to play that position in the NBA. And having a nice face up game benefits him way more as a 4 than a 3.
Way easier said than done.
Like who?
Igoudala?
LBJ?
Paul George?
Josh Smith?
Melo?
Durant?
Deng?
Gay?
Barnes?
Jeff Green?
Joe Johnson?
Parsons?
Ariza?
Granger?
Marion?
Kirilenko?
Sefolosha?
Leonard?
Derozan?
MKG?
lol. gtfo
