It’s no secret that Lou Williams is a defensive liability. Though he has shown moments of competence and aggressiveness on the defensive end, he’s been exposed more often than not.
Lou’s going to have bad shooting days — you live by it, you die by it, we expect that — but on those bad shooting days, the key is to not be giving up so much on the other end as well. We’re going to need Lou’s clutch shotmaking to close out games, so one resolution for him is to find consistency in his defensive game — which, when he’s on, it’s actually not bad — to keep from being such an attractive attack target.
