See I don't understand that, I knew it would be worse without them even if they weren't my favorite players

Sorry. I want better than Mike and Woody. It wasn't my choice that we ended up worse. If Fran can't recruit better than Mike and Woody, I want Fran gone too.

He was a good shooter in high school, doesn't mean he'll be a good shooter at this level. Ellingson put up great shooting numbers in high school and is much bigger than Jordan and he's struggled at this level

Scouting services and a lot of coaches get caught up with these spot up 3 pt shooters from the high school ranks. Marginal ball handling, no ability to create their own shot and not capable of playing D-1 defense.
I don't get it.

Worse yet Fran still doesn't know how to teach defense. How many times do we need to see this story. We have a LOT of work to do on the defensive side of the ball. Just watching Seton Hall run layup after layup should tell us that. Jok plays matador D he'll fit in at the NBA level just fine.

Saying there's no defense played in the NBA is simply idiotic. Those guys are drafted because they are really good offensive players. If there truly is no defense being played, no one would get a rebound because those guys are good enough that they can make every shot if they get the shot they want. If you don't realize that, then you really don't know basketball.

Wow dude holy cow didn't mean to touch off a total hot spot by making one generalized comment. As I stated before FOR 5 YEARS I was a season ticket holder in Minneapolis I saw a ton of lazy defensive basketball. Now if you can see through the red that doesn't mean ALL NBA guys don't play good D. Perhaps I should've limited my NBA comment to the 5 years I watched crap T-Wolves basketball.

His defensive rating went the wrong direction after last night

I believe that. ND shot exceptionally well. If your opponent misses I wide open shot, I would assume that reflects well on your rating, yet it doesn't mean you defended well. I highly doubt JB actually played worse defense. But I'm fairly certain his offense was better.
