Who would have thought two of Creans guys would be elite defenders in the league

Wait, who? Leonard and Green are elite. Vic is really good, but not elite. Don't even know who else you're throwing in there. Vic is the only one even close

Cody's an elite PnR defender but not overall.

Exactly the reason I don't post much. Give a personal opinion and get reasons why I am wrong!

You'd have an argument if you were arguing against him making any all NBA team, cause honestly the biggest reason he puts up numbers offensively is Durant, Curry, and Klay. But the guy is one of the best 3-5 defenders in the NBA.

 

Also, Vic has played 4 NBA seasons. Guys don't suddenly become elite defenders after 4 years

VO absolutely is an elite defender. Gets after it defensively.. his length, conditioning, athleticism, and strength are all elite. Not really sure how any of you could say he isn't...

I watch literally every game he plays. He is sometimes an elite defender, and then sometimes a mediocre one. Just because he has the tools to be elite, doesn't mean he always is. He gets beat backdoor too often, doesn't always find his man after a scramble or in transition, and sometimes doesn't rotate quick enough to guard the 3 pt line. Off ball defense is way harder in the NBA.

I watch every game as well.
