From the DBR Shaw writeup:
You can see it on the break, of course, but you can really see a big difference when they’re defending. They’re swarming guys. Three or four people will show up and just surround the ball. They forced Shaw into 34 turnovers, which has to be close to a record, exhibition or no.
DeMarcus Nelson, Gerald Henderson, and Nolan Richardson are all capable of putting huge pressure on the perimeter. But Greg Paulus and Lance Thomas have improved considerably as defenders, Paulus not least of all because he’s healthy. Jon Scheyer and Paulus aren’t as talented individually as some of the other guys are, but in a team framework, they can be really good.
:D
