PHX group workout today includes:
Fredette, Iman Shumpert, Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris, Chris Singleton and Tristan Thompson…
So if we take the Jimmy, does that mean Westphal's job is safe?

Great read
For those of you without the time to read this.
Basic premise:
D starts inside, PG is the last place for most teams. He then shows the teams with the top defensive ratings and how most of their top players are bigs.
Then he shows the D ratings for all PGs. Most are bad. Most of the good ones are specifically defensive guards with terrible offense. The couple that have both good D and O are superstars who were top 3 picks in the draft.
Then he breaks down a lot of the pre-draft scouting reports on other top PGs and sees a lot of similarities in the comparisons to Jimmer. I think he stretches some of these comparisons pretty far, but still an interesting section.
Kudos to their writer.

Opens up eyes to defense.
