Message: [QUOTE="HW611, post: 5351295, member: 14096"] As far as his individual defense, he did a great job on his assignments against the #1 options in these games. I know it’s a lot to go through, but at the end of each game there’s a summary of his performance. Peavy, Haggerty, and Maddox all struggled from the field when matched up against him. Specific sample size of course, but still. These were the games he was on the court long enough for this to matter. Fouls are also included here. There was a lot of unlucky fouls and he did a pretty good job consistently playing defense with his feet and not his hands. As far as the transition defense, there were 3 cases of Tarris or Samson not doing their job in transition with him that he tries to compensate for.

Should he let the bigs run free to the rim and instead stop ball? These are the things that would negatively affect these stats. I don’t know what more Ross could do in these situations outside of maybe communicate better if he isn’t doing that already. From what I saw whether it was tagging a big running free or cutting off a ballhandler early so they aren’t freely dribbling the ball up, Ross consistently did his part. I only saw one instance that he was out of position overcompensating in this 5 game sample. But again, is it him being a bad defender when he’s overcompensating for other bad defenders? Appreciate you attempting to give some of this stuff a look. Know it’s a lot to go through. [/QUOTE]
