How far can Houston go this year under Ime Udoka? He has the entire team playing principled defense while Sengun is an all star and Jalen Green is a home game all star.

They have A LOT of defensive talent, Brooks, Tate and Eason are all All defense level, FVV, Jabari and Holiday are all between good and very good, Sengun has improved a lot too
Green also.
Yup. He’s always had the potential for defense, I’ve never understood people who said that he’d never be a good defender. He’s quick laterally, works hard, and contests as many shots as he can. He doesn’t have the instincts like a Brooks or Eason, but he’s learning quickly now that our whole team prides itself on defense.
I want Green to succeed so badly. He has such a good ethic and has the raw talent to be a superb player.
It’s unbelievable how bad the Silas years were for his (and others) growth. This is basically his rookie year for defensive purposes.
Ime Udoka was such an underrated steal during the off season. He was great in Boston was kind of having a Nick Nurse type coming out there. He’s clearly an amazing coach and I believe Boston took a lose there.
