Think of an offense featuring Asik, Tyreke and Aminu all at once. That would be a complete dumpster fire.


I don't have to think of it, we saw it last year with Stiemsma in Asik's place. But again I think the flawed thinking is 2 fold. First thinking Aminu is a significantly better defender than Cunningham. I'll concede better rebounder but I don't think they're that far off in terms of defending the 3/4. Second, Aminu defends the 3/4 and our problem has been stopping 1/2. Giannis was always going to get his last night, the problem was giving MCW enough open 15 footers to make him look like a good shooter which he isn't.

lol. Cunningham has a negative defensive real plus/minus, although not as bad as his offensive real plus/minus. He's 59th in the league amongst PFs. Aminu is 5th in the league at his position behind Draymond Green, Tony Allen, Kawhi, and Kidd-Gilchrsit. Right ahead of Sefalosha, Ariza, and Lebron.

That is a clown statement. Aminu is an elite defender. The problem last year was all 4 of our SGs(Morrow, Rivers, EG, and Tyreke) were HORRENDOUS on D and AD still wasn't effecting the game that much on D.
