Early in the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Orlando Magic, Draymond Green was conspicuously absent.
However, I would like to discuss how the Warriors managed to secure this crucial victory over the Magic, who are a perfect match for the small and relatively unathletic Warriors in a number of ways, rather than discussing Green’s needless dismissal. The Warriors are going to have a lot of difficulties because of their long arms, a large number of players that range in height from 6’7″ to 6’11”, and roster-wide competence in a number of defensive concepts, especially when it comes to screen navigation.
The Magic’s greatest screen navigator, who makes a strong case for Jalen Suggs is the best screen navigator in the league, possibly only surpassed by Derrick White.Well, Suggs is receiving talk about being on the All-Defensive team. At the moment of assault, he is physical, quick, nimble, and acutely aware of his surroundings, much like a hound. At 6’5″, he is ranked as the Magic’s greatest perimeter scorer and shot creator. The Magic frequently assign him to guard this player.
Suggs is one of the league’s few defenders who is nearly impossible to shrug off whenever he can remain hooked to someone like this:
Suggs received the Steph Curry assignment, just like in previous competitions, and just like in the video above, he gave it his all to stick with Curry as if his life depended on it. With the help of his innate athletic abilities, he slithered past screens in a fundamentally sound manner (i.e., getting “skinny”).
