Jared Dudley Breaks Down the Suns' Defensive Troubles

Filed under: Suns, NBA PreseasonPHOENIX -- In the wake of the Suns embarrassing, 38-point loss to Denver on Friday, the team was left searching for answers as the regular season draws near, but was largely unable to take comfort in much of anything that has gone on throughout the preseason.

While the team's offensive numbers have plummeted from its best-in-class effort of last year, Jared Dudley talked extensively about the problems on defense, and the specifics of what needs to change if Phoenix as a unit hopes to slow teams down this season.

"You talk about being a good defensive team, but it's about putting it out there," Dudley said, after the Nuggets' reserves put 144 points on the board. "I think that everyone needs to look at the scouting reports a little bit more thoroughly and just keep getting better.

"You can't just talk about being a good defensive team, you've got to practice it. And when you're on the court, you have to know your assignments and know what to do. And we didn't do that [on Friday]."

Dudley was on the court for almost 10 of the 12 minutes in that period, so he saw first-hand the things that were going wrong on the defensive end for the Suns. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
