I will say that Kira has a lot to learn on defense. I'm just glad he's getting to sit back and learn from watching some true professionals play defense at a high level every night.


I keep thinking how a guy like TJ McConnell would be great for Kira to learn from. However, in SVGs defense, he would probably have him trying to guard the paint by running back and forth across the court until someone is left open and he has to run full speed for a late close out.

I don’t think SVG’s issue is necessarily one of scheme. It could be, but it’s a player issue, regardless. If you absolutely suck at point of attack, you’re fricked. Either a the ball handler is going to get whatever he wants or your team is going to scramble and rely on perfect rotations.

Lonzo is arse at getting through screens (which Kira excels at, fortunately) and Bledsoe is staying in front of no one. Those two struggling so much really screws the rest of the team.
