[@adeyinkaeniayedun9420]

Grayson Allen is a turnstile on defense. Jrue Holiday is great as a 4th/5th option as an offensive threat. The trade for Dame was needed tbf. He needs to be a net neutral defender. From the games I've seen, Dame has been horrible as a perimeter defender due to his lack of urgency. My hope is Doc finding a way to hide Dame defensively and/or showing pride in trying. Not expecting his defense to be top-5 but it can't be in the running of the worst either.
