He is probably our best catch and shoot atm but man he is a cone on defense, it has been a problem for 2 seasons now, the worst part is he cant play small ball because he gets caught sleeping on defense or getting killed one vs one. Braun, lonnie walker and divincenzo had momentum buckets against him that changed the game, it is almost like they are hunting him on defense
Also he cant play next to harden, the defense get worse. It is almost we need to run russ next to norm while mann plays next to harden.
What’s crazy is he seems to have the athletic ability to defend well ie lateral quickness and verticality, if he just puts his mind to it. It’s so damn frustrating seeing his player just zip by him, or when he does those dumb reach-in fouls, or those stupid mid-air collisions or block fouls that don’t do anything.
