Been playing ball for a long time before and I love playing with small guys who get their nose dirty and try to strip and steal balls with quick feet and quick hands. Graham is a better defender than I thought he would be, his hands are always moving and always ready to strip a player, he was coached very well
When you know your a real pels fans stop listening to fake news reporters telling devonte graham is not a good defender now you see it with your own eyes the man was all defensive BIG 12 player
@@tloomfield8184 I see what your saying there are play's in there where he didn't do much of nothing but he is in there mixing it up getting involved causing a lil havoc
@@tloomfield8184 not sure what you are talking about he has nice anticipation and he moves his feet well to stay in front of defenders. Those are excellent traits to have as a defender. The guy is 6 ft tall he isn’t gonna black anyone but he anticipates well to knock it out of players hands. I was impressed bc I know not many nba pg can anticipate that quickly Like graham. Take for example luka is an all world player but he doesn’t have the quickness and anticipation like graham. I wasn’t high on graham but after this video he passed the eye ball test as a decent defender for his size. Do you know how hard it is to strip kyrie Irving he did it at least three times in this video
@@tloomfield8184 he’s by no means a lock down on ball defender but he has quick hands and feet. He’s actually quicker than I thought on defense. I seriously wasn’t high on him when he was traded to Pelicans but seeing him fly around looking for steals is a plus. Let’s just say I think it’s nice to see him put a lot of effort and for his size he’s doing as much as he can on defense. But he took the ball from kyrie, kyrie has like the best handles in the game, you have to be impressed with that. Kyrie can make you look foolish if you reach for the ball and he crosses you over. You make a bad pass in this kid’s area he’s gonna go after the ball, and that’s exactly what you need your pg to do.

If u think about his career he has played with some really good name guards, just to add to what you were saying bro
I told B.I to his face in 2019 he will be a all-star the upcoming season....D.G is going to be a all-star this season.
Most of these “defensive highlights” are just rebounds and stray passes that he catches
Right place right time u can’t knock him for that some players just have a knack for positioning themselves well

I’m a pels fan and I can’t lie these are some weak ass defensive highlights. Hopefully he can be at least a neutral defender for us

@@Tom-cr3md he’s disruptive off ball but I don’t really think he’s like that on ball
