The entire is bad (minus Shumpert and Larkins) as it relates to defense. If Larkins was a couple of inches taller, he would have been a hell of a defender. He fights to get over screens and is constantly chasing the ball. Shump does have decent fundamentals, but a little too over aggressive at times.
Shumpert is a bad defender for the 2014-2015 season
His defensive numbers don't even match his rookie season
Stop naming guys based on rep and actually watch the games
Shump personally admitted he played awful defense last yr too
I could care less about fundamentals, defense is
Mainly about effort and court awareness
Our opponents are shooting 46%fg[23rd in the league] and 43%fg(3pt)[the worst in the league]
