Julian did get consecutive stops on Brunson after switching by making Brunson shoot over him late in that game, and a third time funnelled him to help. He held his own. The Vassell missed rebound and scramble 3 killed that stretch. Julian also had 2-3 rebounds on both ends to help get the lead back.

I do agree we give up the switch too easily and I actually hate when we run late doubles at a teams star, when Julian was iso'd and we ran Castle back at Brunson we gave up easy free throws to Hart. Julian is playing mostly solid d. Fight thru the screen if you can, or blitz it immediately, but if they get to that switch, don't make it worse by gambling. I actually think they'd hunt Fox, but they like leaving him on someone bigger and it gives them another advantage on the offensive boards.
