That's an asinine statement. Ryno is a bad defender, but Babbitt is an abysmal defender


That is an asinine statement. There seems to be this misconception that Ryno is just a bad defender. He is likely the worst in the league this year. Certainly bottom 5. His real plus minus is there. Substantially worse than last year when his real plus/minus was 70/76 power forwards. And most of the players in contention with him for worst defender don't play nearly as much.

Luke Babbit is by no means comically bad. He's actually got great length and is a great leaper. Dude touched 11'10" at the combine. Thats higher than Blake Griffin and Zach Lavine for perspective. Certainly not a lockdown defender or even a good one, but he isn't the free point machine that Ryno is.

Honestly, the much better shooter part bothers me more than the defender.
