Orlando Magic forward Chuma Okeke is high on the roster’s defensive versatility.
(via Orlando Magic):
Reporter: “You’re someone that takes pride in 1-on-1 defense, seems like a lot of guys on this team do the same. Do you feel like you guys are a team that can excel in isolation defense?”
Okeke: “For sure. All the way down from the guards to the bigs, I feel like everybody could guard 1-5 honestly. If somebody gets blown by or something like that, then we got help because that’s how our defense is designed. It’s designed to keep our man in front of us, but at the same time if something does happen, then we’re there to help each other out and pick each other up.”
