TP. This is excellent news.  Defense is easily the most teachable NBA skill, anyone can learn to be a good-great defender.

Disagree. The technical stuff is only half the equation

The desire, effort, sacrifing the body cant be taught

Can a coach teach a guy to dive for a loose ball?

Yes, by benching those that don't.  My daughters volleyball coach does it all the time and it works.

I am about same height and I dunked it with three 40 lbs (120lb significally more )weight vests on a bet, when I was a freshman in college.   I would say lots of guys could dunk it in armor.  Granted this was 1987.  It was not that hard, I had slightly longer arms than Tatum.

Trust me if I could do it then I would say each college has a guy who could do it.

It hasnt worked for Carmelo Anthony.... The last time he dived for anything , was probably into his luxury pool

This was fun, I was surprised to see the high vertical. In games he doesn't seem to get a ton of lift, but I think that is since he's a good two foot leaper not a good 1 foot leaper.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

His standing reach is what, 8'10"?  If so, his vertical is about 34" (too lazy to look up exact numbers).

Just curious.  You "had" slightly longer arms?  Did they shrink, lol?  Just kiddin
