And so my logic essentially just comes down to, you know it when you see it.

The Athletic NBA Daily

It's like, obviously, Wemby is not going to be eligible.

Obviously, Bam is not going to be eligible, even though he sometimes plays the four.

OG is a classic wing to me, even though like the piece that I highlighted was I did a film breakdown with him on a clip from him in a game against Nuggets this year where they had him guarding Nikola Jokic.

And this year against Nuggets, he guarded Jamal Murray in the first game and he guarded Nikola Jokic in the second game.

And then he also guarded Cam Johnson for stretches and he guarded Aaron Gordon for stretches and he guarded Bruce Brown for stretches.

And it's like,

The Athletic NBA Daily

This dude just guards everybody.

Like he just starts on everybody.

I also think who you start on when they're not trying to either use you as a roamer or hide you is something that's a good indicator too, I guess.

So like, you know, like Bam out of bio, for example, is someone you see defending the perimeter and is great switching on the guys, but you're not really starting Bam on a small point guard.

The Athletic NBA Daily
All-Perimeter Defense Team w/ Fred Katz

You're not going to do that.

The Athletic NBA Daily

You're going to switch him onto a small point guard and start him on a big.

The Athletic NBA Daily

Or you might put him on a wing, but it's usually a wing that doesn't shoot and he's a roamer.

The Athletic NBA Daily
All-Perimeter Defense Team w/ Fred Katz

Yeah.

The Athletic NBA Daily

With the caveat of if you have to guard that guy and it's not because of some sort of hack where they're trying to either hide you or exploit somebody else.

The Athletic NBA Daily
All-Perimeter Defense Team w/ Fred Katz

Well, they have a dominant defensive center.

Derek White.

The Athletic NBA Daily

Yeah.

Well, you don't get compensated for how hard your job is.
