Honestly, Aly's defense was much better than I thought it'd be — & I give the guy major props for toughness.

But, yeah, defensively we certainly won't miss him. Defensively, I'd take a front of Keita, Mag & Demin over Khalifa, Noah & Richie any day. All three of that first group also beats any one of the second group at the rim. That is why I'd prefer that first group on offense as well.

And that's of course not even factoring Catchings.

But maybe you're making a similar point?
