our rookies come back worse the following yr, every single one of them, which is why they get traded in yr 3. The only rookies to get better every yr was David Lee and nate robinson
think about, gallo, shump, fields, ariza, frank, sweetny, chandler, those are just some i can think of off the top.
I don't expect THJ to ever be a decent defender, if that wasn't his thing in college and then it will never be his thing in the NBA..
If you think I'm wrong, name me a few players that were horrible defenders in college and became stout NBa defenders
