re: Watford is a total liability on defense.

It takes all 5 players playing together to play good defense. If one player, like Watford for instance, leaves his man wide open when the ball gets passed around, other players have to rotate over to try and pick up that open man, leaving their man open because they can't guard both of them. Watford has a problem with losing who he's responsible for and sagging off of him, usually towards the basket, way too much. Now this helps him get more rebounds, but it doesn't help the team play better defense. He is waaaaay to slow and lazy on close outs. Now he's usually having to guard a smaller faster player, so he backs off so he doesn't get burnt on a drive. However, what's good about putting a bigger defender on a shooter if you're not going to use that length to make them shoot over you. He must close out better, or don't leave them as open to begin with.
