But having guys like Maxi and Dwight who can switch onto guards successfully is the key to our defense. That changes as soon as you play a slow-footed center, no matter how well he can shoot 3s.
Foul trouble early but he was pretty good in the 3rd quarter from what I saw. Got switched onto Dinwiddie on an island a lot and looked fine to me. Got bumped by Brunson one time and got knocked backwards too though. I don't think he's really engaged. Doing a lot of loafing. That's what happens on losing teams. Probably more concerned about avoiding a major injury than giving effort. He should be set up for a lot more dunks. Don't think they have the distributor to get that done, just a lot of score first guys.
