Q: Jalen Green has his strengths and his struggles defensively. What do you see in what he can be? Ime Udoka: If you have all these physical attributes, to me, there’s no reason you can’t be a good defender. You have length, athleticism. I mean, a big part is getting stronger. We have a younger team. Some guys need to obviously get stronger in that department and that helps right off top. But I always go back to that mentality shift. If your focus has always been offense and you’ve had success with that, you’re going to kind of gear toward that more so than the other end. But understanding big picture of what always helps you win, you look at every successful team, and defense is a constant.”
