Switching, versatility and flexibility. Three things I enjoy watching in a defense and key fundamentals to a successful one - the most recent example? The 2019 NBA Champions, the Toronto Raptors.
The Kings defense last year wasn’t particularly great, having a defensive rating of 110.8 which ranked them 21st in the league. Surprisingly, this is worse than their 2017-18 rating of 110.4 that placed them 27th but that’s because there were much worse defensive teams this past season. They also were 26th in the league in points allowed at 115.3 a game and tied at 19th in field goal percentage allowed at 46.
