But I don't worry about the rebounding long term as much because I know Sully will help us with that when he comes back. The defense is just atrocious though. And I'm still so confused as to how that is when we literally have the same exact players as last season and the same coach. It's crazy to me. Our schedule is getting easier but at this point I don't care if we can be no playoff teams because that means nothing. It's about beating elite teams and the teams you will potentially meet in the playoffs. And so far we have struggled mightily with all of them.
Remember the one guy who loved to play defense? The guy who was constantly talking and directing/anchoring our defense? The guy doing the mutombo finger wags all the time? You must know who I'm talking about. lol

We are completely fucked if we don't make some kind of change. We either need to replace Carroll with a game-changing wing defender or bring in a rim protector who can actually stay on the floor against small-ball lineups and isn't worthless on the boards. People have been slating me and others for advocating for a Noel trade but he really would be a huge help right now and he has sky-high potential.
It's not that risky relying on a young player. Biz was only 23 last season anyway, not like he was some seasoned vet. Noel has the same number of years in the league as Biz did last year.

Casey wasn't making those offense-defense subs with Biyombo for fun last year, he was doing them because they actually made sense. It's not an option this year. Bebe is just a shot blocker he's not really an intimidator in the paint and he rebounds like he's 5'11.

However the word "fit" is to be considered also. He does complement well with the pieces on this team.

biyombo is on the magic and has literally made zero impact in defense. they're currently 19th in the league. last year they were 17th.
