Feels like I am watching Dwight Powell. He should be dominating in the paint. Should be able to switch onto guards and wings. Instead he is getting pushed around in the paint. Playing lazy defense on the perimeter. Not closing out. Gambling for steals and reaching in instead of moving his feet on the perimeter.
Jokic on the other hand deserves a lot of credit for his improved defense. No flashy highlight blocks. Just fundamentals. Giving me some Marc Gasol vibes. Perfect positioning and timing on rotations.
I noticed Jokic's positioning today too. Gives me hope for Luka who has shown he can do the same thing.
Lakers need shooting bad.
