Bucks star Damian Lillard shot down a narrative about him being a poor defender.
The Milwaukee Bucks have had some issues on the defensive end of the court to start the season. It has seen them lose a few games that they should have likely won and has become a real talking point around the team.
Star guard Damian Lillard gives them an explosiveness on the offensive end of the floor but his defense remains a work in progress. While Lillard isn't terrible at defense, he has been called a poor defender in the past.“In the last couple years of my career, it’s been something that I’ve taken pride in. I think early in my career, like most young players, especially scoring young players, it’s a learning curve defensively.
Lillard has taken a step forward in terms of his defense in recent years but he isn't where the Bucks would love for him to be. Milwaukee moved off of Jrue Holiday for Lillard, a move that drastically hurt their abilities on the defensive side of the court.
