The last game against the Wizards really show cased why. Defense was beyond terrible. KP is already a liability but Sabonis is easily worse. Getting torched in the post by bigger guys like RoLo. Not getting back in transition at all. Getting blown by in the pick and roll. No help defense or rim protection.
Guy made the All-Star game...so dont listen to me....
But the few times I watched him it has amazed me he made ASG. Is he a really good passer? 3pt Specialist?...because even that doesnt scream at me when I watch him.
What really got me questioning him was a game I saw during regular season when he literally was looking like Dwight Powell on offense around the rim. Im not talking about rim-rolling DP...Im talking about wild-circus miss the backboard on a lay-up DP. Sabonis didnt look very polished at all around the rim in this particular game.
Dude score points, though. I know nothing about his defense. Maybe he is an ok passer and can hit a 3 reasonably well. From what I have seen I would pass on this guy. Eye test isnt enough...I get it. Maybe he plays team ball really well.
