Rockets Acquires Spacing, Perimeter Defense In Trade W/ Pels

There's going to be plenty of tinkering over the next several sims, that's for sure. Based on the points allowed per shot faced statistic, Harden, Parsons, Aminu, and Beverley are all rather equal defenders and all of them have similar defensive ratings (between 60 and 67), so it's not like any of them is a liability on defense. There really isn't much to go off of right now, so it's really just going to be monitoring matchups and looking for trends until there's a big enough sample size for the advanced stats to make sense.

Pretty interested to see how else you shape this team in comparison to the oCSL Rockets, having Dwight helped you out alot in relation to decision making and I love the Ryno pickup and like you stated I'm not really seeing a defensive issue with Lin Harden Parsons Ryno Howard, none at all and having Aminu helps defensively as a backup anyway.

Yup, considering we completely shut down San Antonio with that lineup, I'm not seeing a defensive problem here at all. I'll be monitoring it.
