How defensive has Wiggins been this season? According to the perspective of Yuzu sister's embarrassing blowing in the past, it must be punching Leonard on the outside and mutombo on the inside, which can be called the strongest defender in the league. Jin can hold the big ding crazy Gai Gobert, and retreat to ride a silver gun to break Morant. Anyway, in the past, Yuzu sister's embarrassing blowing, mouth brother is basically the best defender in the league, the tube is to defend who, the opponent shot iron that must be the credit of mouth brother! Of course, awkward blowing is embarrassing blowing, what about the real defensive ability of the mouth brother this season?
First of all, compared with last season, the defense of the mouth brother is indeed improved, especially the individual defense ability is visible to the naked eye, in the case of 1V1, the mouth brother generally does not need to assist in defense and supplementary defense, that is, directly block people outside the three-point line. But the mouth brother this season's interior sealing ability is declining, last season the mouth brother anti-breakthrough is put, let you burst to the basket, and then like James to chase the cap, a lot of top plate big hats emerge in an endless stream, mouth brother last season is the Warriors' cap king. But this season, The Mouth Brother has had a lot less blocks in the paint and more attention has been paid to the outside.
But speaking of the targeted defense of the mouth brother this season, the data comes! With 34.3 percent of the rounds this season against the forwards (small forwards and big forwards), he hasn't done a very good job of limiting opponents' points, shooting nearly 48 percent from 163 and 40 percent from three-point range. When playing against the striker, Wiggins did not have the means to perfectly limit the opponent, and many times he would be forced to eat points by the opponent. But the mouth brother does not have too many rounds to defend the forward, and the Warriors are more about letting the mouth brother defend the opposite guard.
This season, 58% of the rounds of the mouth brother are in the defensive guard type players, and these guard players only shoot 80 of 219 against the mouth brother, shooting only 36.5%, including 33.6% from three-point range. Switched to the defender, the mouth brother can be called the "defender killer" this season. Wiggins has a lot of time hanging outside the three-point line in a game, directly targeting the opponent's ball carrier, and his excellent defensive ability is reflected at this time. Height, arm span, and athleticism are vividly displayed, so the restrictions on these little defenders are very precise.
Kerr also seems to know where Wiggins's defensive advantage lies, so most of the time he will not let the mouth brother go directly to the player opposite the third position, but let him go to the outside to play his defensive skills. So this season the Warriors are not afraid of small guards, whether it is Booker, Mitchell or Morant, Lowry, Wiggins is in an absolute advantage against these guards, which makes these players suffer. In terms of real defensive ability, in terms of the outside line alone, The Mouth Brother deserves a place in the best defensive team this season!
