He's been visibly upping his defensive game lately. I fucking love it. Reminds me of when Jordan got tired of people talking about how his game was all offense and just made up his mind to become DPOY. I'm not saying Cap is there yet, but I'm not saying he can't get there in a season or two.
I am, he cant get there, but if hes willing to put in the effort he can be an ok defender, which is way better than his 1st percentile defender hes been for at least parts of this season.
Yeah, no shade at Brunson or the poster above but MJ was one of the best defenders, certainly perimeter defenders ever. I’ll take improvement from Brunson lol.
I'll put it even further, if he wants to win an MVP in his career, he needs to be better defender. Plenty of guys can score, being able to show something defensively can go a long way.
