Now that trae is gone and AD is probably off the table I wonder how quickly people realize that Jalen Johnson is a bad defender and what adjustments he makes.


I think the good thing for him versus Trae is its simply an effort thing and not physical limitations. He was an ok defender before his role changed and he took on more of the scoring responsibility so its not like he cant do

It'll at least be easy for Atlanta to be build a solid-good defense around him and due to his size and athleticism he offers some positional versatility to where you can kind of hide him on that end of the court


His usage and efficiency are up offensively but yeah, hopefully sometime in the future he can lock back in on the defense

Sounds like they could use Jalen Williams or Jaylen Brown
