ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

I don't know, i guess its also the type of guys he defends. Tatum is kinda "slow" compared to speedy guards. Thats the same type of guys that DFS usually defends. Bigger more crafty forwards.

I think his defensive mechanics are still somehow ok, but he is being used as point of attack defender guarding the matchups with the most foot speed most of the time.

And if you can't keep those guys infront, you have a problem and the team defense has a problem. Getting blown by once in a while happens to every defender, but not at an alarming rate.

I think there is a lot of truth to this, but last year he was fairly successful as our point of attack defender.  In fact, I think Dorian was more effective last season on defense because he had Bullock to chase around guys.  But an argument could be made that Bullock is not really the right guy for that role either.  Its why Green has been so valuable on that end.  Its a shame Frank is useless offensively because he would be a great bench point of attack defender otherwise.
