mitchel is an average defender on a good day.

if booker played with gobert, he wouldn't have anyone questioning his defense either tho.

gap between booker's offense is much bigger than the gap between both their defenses

Has great length. He played D this summer and I expect a lot more from him at that end now that he has other scorers to take the load off of him at the other end.

When Booker leads his team anywhere than we can talk about him. Until than he's just empty stats

Xiao still in here pathetically defending what anyone with a basketball brain knew would be the absolute worst American team with professionals ever.

Faced average at best competition, and still finished pathetically. That’s what you get with a team of one lone non perennial All Star who is an undersized purely score first isolation guard.

Mitchell and Kemba both are the only players from that team who could crack top 25 in the league individual rankings. And they barely do that.

Our squad featured NO top fifteen or even top fifteen American players. No wonder we got curb stomped in pathetic fashion.
