Has anyone read Cato's latest article? His takes are just becoming stranger and stranger to me. Maybe I'm out of touch but this was from the article:
"Prosper’s recurring Dorian Finney-Smith comparison, however, is more a product of proximity than exactness. Prosper has a defensive presence that doesn’t always show up statistically, which is similar to Finney-Smith. But he’s looked better at ball denial and shrinking the floor off-ball than locking down top scorers with on-ball defense. In other words, Prosper’s defensive impact is more similar to Reggie Bullock, just with Finney-Smith’s size."
I just don't know what Reggie Bullock he was watching and DFS was doing a ton off ball after Reggie got here (not saying he wasn't also dominate as an on ball defender, just that this was a really strange assessment to me).
