Lillards' Bad Defense? Not really THAT bad

1

Now we all know Lillard plays poor PnR defense. His technique isn't very mature yet. BUT THE DUDE TRIES HARD...like real hard while shouldering a massive portion of our offense, handling the ball and being an all around brass-balled-boss. Exhibit A: James Harden. Terrible defender. This is one of many examples of Hardens' bad defense and general web content related to exactly this. What this tells me is that we have a lot to be thankful for regarding our young PG and his imperfect defense.
