This was a great breakdown but I never understood the nitpicking of guard defense, they will always be at a disadvantage because of their size. Jrue Holiday one of the best defenders for his position was punked in the playoffs by Jimmy Butler because Jimmy had the size advantage. Guards just have to be great offensive players to make up for that and that's something Cam is developing. He's in his 3rd season but this is really his 1st season getting consistent mins in a prominent role.

You can have a size disadvantage and still be smart on defense. There are guards that have really bad defense like Thomas or Lillard because they make too many mistakes, it's not only because of their build. You don't become a better defender by scoring more points, you actually learn how to defend and put in the work and it will make the difference.

This was a pretty good breakdown and it’s also the first video I’m watching on your channel. I hope to see more in the future.

good video it shows the bad chemistry on D by the Nets but i dont know why are the baskets from celtics on cam. they switching on every screen and thats what hes doing, on the first play he switching like brooklyn does on every screen with every player and Ben is to late, t he 2. its a good contest against tatum. the 3rd is on him he got beaten and is just watching after the post on jrue is overhelping by the others and not on cam either on 4:30 is a to early switch right but claxton shouldnt run after holiday, the paint is closed and he should take on White. i can go on, Cam isnt a good defender but he isnt as terrible as people say, mostly hes missing the experience and brooklyn has no chemistry the D isnt better with Cam on the bench.

Good breakdown, but I don't really get the title or the actual message. Even if you outscore the whole other team, you might still have a worse net rating than a player that actually defends (assuming you weren't the only person that could score a bucket on your team). Basically all the points you score get erased by your lack of defense and by the fact that they will target you. I think you can compensate for someone being a defensive liability as a team, like the Nuggets did with Jokic with their whole double team and shifting of the defense whenever Jokic got targeted. But scoring more doesn't really fix anything.
