BTW - If you listen to the Dunc'd On podcast this week...they ROAST Boogie! No defense, no effort, no heart...OUCH!
They're justified in doing so. On offense he's extremely quick for his size. Running back on defense he suddenly turns into the second coming of Luis Scola.
He has terrific balance with the ball in his hands or shooting through contact. When he thinks he's fouled and doesn't get a call, he suddenly has gumby legs and falls over underneath the basket crying to the referee, followed by, you guessed it, plodding back on defense at Scola pace.
It's awful to watch.
He had some decent defensive "stats" in his first game vs. the rockets with decent steal numbers. Here's what his defense was actually like in that game.
Nice fake hustlehttps://youtu.be/p-uaNzJsE30?t=1m9sWay to cover your manhttps://youtu.be/p-uaNzJsE30?t=1m27sGumby legs and Scola pace - ENGAGEhttps://youtu.be/p-uaNzJsE30?t=3m54sNice communication with your teammate to tell him the pick was cominghttps://youtu.be/p-uaNzJsE30?t=5m5sWay to help on Hardenhttps://youtu.be/p-uaNzJsE30?t=5m44sOLE its a matador! So imposinghttps://youtu.be/p-uaNzJsE30?t=7m13sWatch the first 3 quarters of the rockets vs pels game where he had a line:
27 points / 14 rebounds / 5 assists / 5 steals / 4 blocks
You look at the stat line and go "wow, he had an amazing game".
Watch that game and see how lazy that guy is on the defensive end.
