Brad's teams were most effective and successful when defense was prioritized. As President of Basketball Operations, Brad is looking to bring more defensive players into the fray.
Two new additions to the team are Josh Richardson and Kris Dunn. Though they might not give a whole lot offensively, they'll bring it defensively.
Watch their defensive highlight and you'll see that both are good at stripping the ball away from players on drives to the basket.
Makes me wonder if this is what Brad and Udoka like in defensive players?

Have you noticed that a lot more balls seem to be stripped on drives, than shots are blocked? At least it seems so to me.

Are we keeping Dunn? Word is that he might get traded elsewhere. I guess he'll provide depth off the bench.
I'd try everything to get Jarrett Allen if at all possible.

I'm curious to know what type of big man Brad and Udoka want? Jarret Allen type (long and athletic) or Kelly Olynyk type (big body who can move a bit)?

Actually I've just read that we aren't getting Dunn. Somehow we've failed to use that large TPE.
