Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1787809, member: 2585"] I shouldn't have worded it that way - you're 100% correct in responding that way. I meant: Teams in the lottery are usually missing that top flight offensive talent. They are harder to find. Teams are more likely to take a chance trying to find a guy like that - then guys who are good defensive players. Look at Philly - Nerlens Noel is a very competent defender and will have a nice career. But he's no Towns or Davis. People keep thinking I'm undervaluing defense in the NBA. I'm not. I just think great offensive players are harder to find than great defensive players. AND that great offensive players can become great defenders, while great defenders seldom become great offensive players. The top of the draft is always skewed towards offensive players. [/QUOTE]
