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.
Actually I think a lot of folks have bought into Kidd's defensive strategy. That's why most of the calls for frontcourt help have involved an mobile defensive big man. Personally I don't think shooting threes is necessary as long as that player can rim roll. Defensive mobility is the most important part.
