Fred Katz

away from the basketball in a defensive player of the year level kind of way.

And he's going to do it as like a backline defender.

Who's not necessarily guarding in the middle of the defense, but on the edges.

Yeah, totally.

And the reason why I compared Derek White to Giannis specifically is because Boston is using him differently than they've ever used him and then San Antonio ever used him.

Where, like, they have intentionally pulled him off of the other team's best perimeter player for the entire season.

And they are using him in that sort of weak side corner roving sort of goal.

A catch-all.

the catch all just take away that side, take away the passing lanes, come over and help take away the rim.

And he's six foot four.

And you're not supposed to be in that role.

It's six foot four.

If you look at bballindex.com, they have a really cool stat that they do, which grades matchup difficulty.

And, you know, if you have, which is like how the usage of the people you're guarding.

So essentially, essentially, how often are you on the lead playmaker for the team that you're playing?

So I think the highest matchup difficulty in the league this year is like Lou Dort.

Makes sense.

Thunder always put him on the other team's best player.

Yep.

You know, Steph Castle, ridiculously high matchup difficulty, so on and so forth.
