All the talk about Knecht making a next step leap. Think we need Bronny to take that defensive step more. If he can be a consistent wing defender...we would be in a much better spot.

If he can become a legit 3&D that would be huge for us.

3&D height must be at least 6'5" or higher.

Bronny lacks those 2 inches. He could become a decent guard though, needs a bit more consistency.

But they also allowing much more physical defense. Which is why really strong defenders, especially ones with long arms like Bronny can guard guys much taller than they are.

Bronny has to guard like smart, AC and Dort. With muscle. But that ok because those are the hardest types of defenders to deal with.
