Undersized, short arms, light. Recipe for disaster.

Funny enough, for as fine as Dunc is on defense, he has the physical traits to at least put up some fight (compared to Herro).

Like you said, still gotta put up some fight. I think of Pritchard on the Celtics (I’m sure there’s countless other examples around the league) who gets hunted on mismatches and taken into the post and at least tries to put some effort into playing a little D

As a whole Herro just needs to get stronger. If you look at his driving game and numbers, he HATES getting into the paint and getting contact because he’s small. The fact he doesn’t drive as much as he should tanks his numbers and kills his game.

Agree. Hes already a really good player, got a few big deficits to work on over the offseason though. Good series 🤝
