- Mavs have 150 minutes of a 91.7 DefRtg with Luka off the floor (bench).
- best defense in the league is Warriors at 99.2 DefRtg.
- 350 minutes with Luka: 115.0 DefRtg.
- worst defense is Memphis with 112.4 DefRtg.
I mean the starters literally can't stop anyone so far.
Where to go from here? Start better defensive player(s)? Bullock instead of THJ? Maxi for DP?
What is the overall defensive scheme? Tight M2M? Drop M2M? Zone?
Seems like RC would drop into a zone when things weren't going right, but I don't think that's a long term answer either. I thought Bullock, Frankie and S.Brown were brought in to provide defensive improvements. Seems a little uneven right now.
