Using this for non-Jazz series.
That was a great game 1.
Funny to think that on the last Magic possession, you have Leonard guarding Augustin, a top defender.
Then Marc Gasol gets switched onto him, a former defensive player of the year.
And Augustin still hits the game winner.
A top defender like Leonard cannot get screened out, and still claim to be a top defender.
I actually haven't been as impressed with Leonard's defense for several years, as I think he's pretty good, but not as good as the guys in the 90s / early 2000s.
I like Paul George more defensively. Even then, I still think there were other past wing defenders better. But I'd rank George ahead of Leonard.
