It's way too easy to tell who only watches a handful of Warrior games a season.
How good is Monta Ellis really?

It's not fair to judge his D while he's on Golden State.

^ No. What does Kevin Martin do better than Monta? Pump fake? Monta has a higher shooting percentage than him and scores more points per game. And Dirk is obviously a better player but he can't straight up break down a defense off pure athleticism or get out on a fastbreak the way Monta can, he leaves that up to JT and Kidd.

Monta Ellis: Fun to watch, wouldn't want him on my team
Does he always defend SG's? That backcourt is at a serious disadvantage so I won't give him or Curry slack. They need to ship him out and build a conventional team.

Scores 23 a game and has the 2nd highest TS% of anyone who shoots at least 15 shots per game. Among the league's best this season as a scorer with opposing defenses factored in.Originally Posted by JumpmanFromDaBay

Dude said this season right? Well there you go. Don't discount him because he plays for a small-market Houston team.

For a perimeter player, not much, really.
Attempting to keep your man in front of you. Most don't because they don't care to, so then it's on to directing them into your post defenders. And then contesting shots, which also rarely happens effectively.

He's not that bad on defense as you guys make it. He doesn't shut people down, but he can bother people defensively and be a little pesky defender.
Now, Stephen Curry is horrible at defense.

Kevin Martin is a good, efficient scorer. Yea, that's about it.
