[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1652412, member: 517079"] Curbelo's defense is really underrated on these boards. Defensive advanced stats can be a bit misleading, but insofar as they tell you something useful, the story is that Belo is a really good defender. On par with Trent. He has a really high steal rate, and if he cleans up the stupid fouls (which often happen right after a stupid turnover), then he'll really help himself -- that tends to improve with experience. I've said this before but he is a better defender than Trae Young, Lou Williams, etc. [I]right now[/I]. If he can provide offensive contributions that make those diminutive guys still an overall plus for their teams then he should have no problem staying on the floor. [/QUOTE]
