Suggs and KCP form the best defensive backcourt in the league and with their 40% 3-point shooting, they are going to be a tough match up for any backcourt. Orlando is definitely going to turn heads next season with their internal improvements and new additions
Dmitch and garland will never win against orlando ever again
@@YourWorstNightmare3333 They will have a tough time scoring and will probably be very ineffecient doing so, but the team can and will still beat them, just a little less than before. I would say they are more evenly matched now as before it was slightly in the Cavs favor. Don't forget their big guys are completely awesome defenders too, which makes it very hard for Orlando to get anything done in the paint.
@@pinobluevogel6458 nah I mean in a series. Ofcourse they win some games at home. Mobley and Allen has no offense they can only score on dunks. Orlando almost beat them last season too without KCP and AB Jett TDSS. 4 players that will give cleaveland headaches
@@YourWorstNightmare3333 I realize it was close, I sadly didn't have time to watch the series at the time, so I only saw some of the highlights. I think they are closer together now, while I believe Cleveland had an advantage last time they met in the playoffs.
I still think despite how good Orlando is defensively, they are still lacking some offensive juice as they are now. It has to come from growth of Paolo, Franz, Suggs, Isaac, basically everyone to be able to create more of an effective offense that holds up in the playoffs.
KCP was a great move, not just for veterancy, but also because he has been a reliable shooter for most of his career. If you look at his jumpshot it is beautiful and extremely balanced from all positions on the court. Also, he doesn't take bad shots so is very efficient. Everyone has an off day once in a while, but for him this is rare. I think Orlando might just want one more big offensive addition, preferably a creator that can also stretch the floor. Maybe we see that at the trade deadline.
@@pinobluevogel6458 team with home court won the series because of home court. If Orlando gets that next year, that’s all need to get past Cleveland. KCP only adds to that. That’s not even mentioning that Orlando is the younger, ascending team.
So glad to have this guy in Orlando...... Play that song!!!
KCP is mad underrated. Lakers really missed him when he left. Denver will also
It's almost ironic how the nuggets are making some similar moves to the Lakers after that Bubble chip 😂
Not a 1 for 1 comparison, of course, but Lakers lost Caruso to free agency (bulls offered him 1 more year than the Lakers were willing to offer). And then they also traded KCP to get Westbrook 😂
Nuggets losing KCP in free agency.
They didn't trade for Westbrook, but still funny he's in the same timeline-transaction 😂
Big ups to kcp blessed in highly favored
To hear what the pros see from the inside is amazing. Great show, draymond. KCP has ability to glue this team together.
Not enough respect on JI's name rn
As a magic fan Judah is that guy
Because he has averaged less than 30 games a season since he's been in the league
@@silewis9396last season was his first season back after all these years and that was the test run
Jrue and Derrick are pretty good tho 😅 magic gonna be scary
That would be a great 2 on 2 matchup
Suggs will have to take. Big step offensively for it to be a good 2 on 2 match up. But just defense yea there top 3 no doubt
@@bluescripts100 true it’ll be interesting though I’ll have to tune in this upcoming season
@@jimmoore8951 really good matchup!!!
@@dantexkv9983 let's add Dort and Caruso from OKC and have a tourney
i seriously till this day don't know why the lakers traded KCP one of the best defenders and you couldn't leave him open and he was able to put the ball on the floor! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
he wasn't traded, he didn't resign.
@@iPoeticProphettraded to Washington
@@pablo3pr you're right...along with kuz i forgot
They may have won another chip if they didn't trade KCP or Kuzma and added the right pieces
LOVE to have you kcp
Yes. I would take KCP and Suggs over Jrue and White as the best defensive back court. I cant wait to see them play with Jonathan Isaac, the defense will be suffocating.
Crazy as a mf
One backcourt is proven t
Though.
@@useyourthirdeye9083Yes they are. Suggs was second team All-NBA Defense while being the best defender on the 3rd best defensive team in the league.
KCP needs no introduction, but the man has 2 rings as the best or second best defender on his team both times.
@@TheRealDalic I feel you I'm just saying one tandem has a ring and one tandem hasn't even played yet. That's fam.
I think Suggs has the limitless energy and effort and KCP has the extremely high consistancy with both defense and shooting, doing this over a very long career succesfully. However for White and Jrue, even though their shooting is certainly less good than KCP, they are way more dialed in and experienced on team defense and both have more playmaking chops for sure. I would even say Jrue is a very dynamic scorer with all the stuff he does around the basket, especially in a limited role when he has most of his energy for defense.
I miss KCP on my Pistons , Magic my second fav team 💯
Draymon Green : we’re not the LANDO MAGIC
We’re The ORLANDO MAGIC
Lu dort and Caruso would like a word
Lou dort is in the backcourt now, where does shai play then SF? 😂
And even if they were a backcourt ,dwhite and jrue Holiday and suggs and kcp are still better
People still sleeping on Jonathan Isaac! Yall gonna hear his name more I promise you!
Jrue Holiday and Derrick White would like a word😂.
Ja morant n Marcus smart
@@MalachiFuncheswhat?! 😂
Magic still have AB off the bench. Locked down stars already last season.
@@MalachiFunches I wouldn't say Ja is a good defender, he is medium at best and Smart is really good, but compared to Jrue & White, KCP & Suggs and Murray & Herb .. they are not really anywhere close as a duo. I think Smart, even though he is probably the guy that can play the biggest size difference, is more reputation based than the actual statistical output these other guys have. (or Murray used to have before he joined the Hawks)
@@YourWorstNightmare3333 don’t forget about Gary Harris. No such on d either
3:13 “I couldn’t believe you guarded him that well, and that’s when I knew this dude was different…..defensively” 😂
Jrue Holiday & Derrick White/JB
Dejounte Murray & Herb Jones
Jalen Suggs & KCP
Theres a clear Top 3 right now
Honorable Mention: TWolves when they run Ant at the 1 & Mcdaniels at the 2
Bro DJ AND HERB BY FARRRRRRRR. 1st team all defense. Herb better than ALLLL THEM ALONE what are you saying?
@@LeFraicheLCnobody besides Pelicans fans think that. Jrue and White are obviously number 1
@@M3333C bro who made 1st team this season????
@@stundo1hundo Caruso and Dort not a sexy choice but still lockdown defenders
LETS GO MAGIC
At worst were #2 but I love the the signing of kcp....great vet, really good 3pt shooter, and defends his asss off
As impossible as this sounds, i would love for Draymond to play for the Magic. Adding Dray's defense , outside shot , toughness, playmaking and Chmpionship experience would make the magic instant contenders ..People forget Dray was shooting over or close to 40% from 3 for multiple seasons.
KCP IS 🍻 DRUNK DRINKING SPEAKING
Okc thunder backcourt going to be hell
SGA, Lu Dort, Caruso, and Jalen Williams might have a word with him. Oh, don’t let me forget Cason Wallace 🤷🏽♂️
You've lost your mind if you think any of those players other than caruso are even comparable to kcp and especially suggs. Btw how are dort and jdub in the backcourt
Jrue Holiday & Derrick White and Dejounté Murray & Herb Jones would like to have a word with you. Also, I take that last duo any day because of length, youth , switchability and scoring potential.
So weird we didnt bring him back to LA, he is exactly what we needed in our backcourt. Certified shooter and demon defender
Dejounte and herb will be
Thank you
@@LeFraicheLCits derrick white/ Jrue and its not particularly close
Herb Jones and Dejonte Murray would like a word and Jrue and Derrick White would like to go after
Jrue and Derrick yes. Murray and Herb no. Murray was a averrage defender for Atlanta with little Impact on defense.
Draymond is wrong about the Magic being unwilling to spend. The Magic had one of the highest payrolls in the world during the Dwight Howard era. They’re just not going to spend on mediocre teams. Even though it’s a smaller market, they still have one of the few ownership groups willing to go into the tax if they feel there’s a chance to win.
Thats what I said orlando has no problem spending the money the problem was they would over pay on talent and we would be stuck in this weird position where we can't sign more top talent in free agency cause we stuck with mediocre players that nobody wants cause of the contract
Magic best defense in the league this season
Hey draymond play me in a 1v1 game 10 if I score 2 buckets at the least you gotta give me a episode on your show or come to mine
☠️
You wouldn't score. I have been on a basketball court with bottom tier NBA players, and they are much better than they look.
Jrue & Derrick #1. They proly #2.
Herb Jones and Dejonte Murray would like that second spot they are both number one and number 2 in steals the last 3 years straight 😂
This coach better be good
I know they both two guards but Dort and Caruso own that title
The world will find out soon enough
Definitely Jrue & D. White 1st, honestly I think H. Jones & D. Murray may be 2nd. But KCP & Suggs is spooky fr
Bruhhhh HERB JONES IS BETTER than Jrue and Derrick by far. DJ don’t make it no better. DJ and HERB 1st fasho
@@LeFraicheLCdelusional. 99.99 of the NBA world knows Jrue and White are the best
Caruso and Dort retire?
Dejounte Murray and Herbert Keyshawn Jones button->
Dort & Caruso, easy
White & Jrue too..
They can possibly be #3 tho
Ant Edwards just showed why kcp ain’t in no defensive team
Jrue made the all-defensive team this year after getting destroyed by Jimmy Butler in the play offs last year
Franz Wagner is the best defender for Ant Edwards. He has never dominated Franz. Cooked him in the World Cup too
@@nono-qe2yq Some players have an in-elastic game, meaning they will always have some sort of offense that will work against nearly every defense. Butler is like that, just like Kawhi, Jokic or Luka. No defender can really stop them, the only thing holding them back is injury basically.
Edwards is special, he'd embarrass anyone. KCP got mad 2nd team votes though, more than JB, Ant, and Tatum. Definitely in the discussion.
@@navisawesome03 he has never embarrassed Franz
Ant just cooked KCP for 7 games and he still calling himself a elite defender o yeah and Ant 🔒 down Murray that series too
Franz locked down Ant multiple times 🤷🏻♂️ franz cooked him on offense too
I don't think as good as a defender KCP is, he can't measure up to Ant very well, stopping him is a team effort .. not an individual one.
@@pinobluevogel6458 nope Franz can and has done it multiple times on Edwards. He ain’t SGA or Luka that needs multiple people to stop. Ant is too easy to stop
@@YourWorstNightmare3333 I have yet to see it in isolation. Edwards has some flaws in his offensive (and his defensive) game, mainly his playmaking (and his team defense) that is lacking.
Dallas didn't put an individual defender on him, they closed the paint as much as they could and switched between good wing defenders that are way longer than Ant and also about as strong. That is the key to defending him, you take away his isolation as much as you can and let him be a playmaker. Sure, he will make some tough shots, but he won't be as efficient and it will also create a lot of non-possesions.
He is still very young though, so I'm expecting him to improve and be a lot more complete in a few years.
@@pinobluevogel6458 yeah he will still improve most likely and he needs that playmaking
good luck without the jokic/murray gravity kcp 🤣
Yeah ard!! He talking that bullshit! He ard & they gon be ard on the defensive end so I’m not saying that but they better than a championship winning DEFENSIVE backcourt? FOH KCP! 😂
Play the song🪄
Bugging
KCP isn't that good I don't know why magic fans are hyping this man up he literally has been bouncing around from team to team they literally make him look like the next MJ
He’s the type of guy that teams target when they want to make that jump to contender status. Not exactly the same as just “bouncing around the league” lol the guy is a champion
Derrick White to the Celtics for example. When teams start to get serious about playing for a championship they always want the KCPs of the world
Draymond green is the most mediocre basketball player I ever seen that swear he the cold . The dude is trash
Delusional Caldwell Pope
Paolo aint no damn "generational talent" 😂😂
All star his 2nd year…..
He's really good with potential, but generational talent ? No way
Nah he is bro
😂true
Buddy definitely a budding superstar 🔥🔥
Dort and Caruso say lol
What’s weaker, Jalen Suggs hairline or kcp speaking ability?
Why does that matter?
damn raptors fans still salty huh
haters gonna hate
@@navisawesome03 sensitive baby girl
@@HunchoAlejandroyou hating and skipped two other comments. That one was the killer huh? 😂
