In terms of scouting, I mean for defensive purposes. It just goes back to the Spurs game where we started Val on Duncan and then switch Bargnani over. I'm not sure why we don't do that more often, keep JVal on the weaker offensive player so he can be the help defender.
Honestly, it's less a scouting issue than it is the personnel. You can scout and plan for pick and roll defense all you want but if your guys can't execute the scheme, it doesn't mean a thing.

I think they want JV guarding guys like Duncan, Hibbert, Howard et al. because they want him to gain that experience. And the reality is that he has mostly held his own even though he's had a few bad stretches.

I'm not writing off Val.
Just keeping the expectations on this kid low.
P.S. Asik is very good. Val could be a less athletic DeAndre Jordan.Last edited by draftedraptor; Thu Nov 29, 2012, 12:39 AM.
