That's specifically BECAUSE he's "just 23," probably. Size is hurtful to your defense, when you have two much of that and not enough speed, quickness and change of direction. This is why Kleber can't play the 4, why KAT can't play the 4 and why everyone but Anthony Davis has been saying HE'S a 5.
With modern spacing, two-bigs is the easiest way to ensure your defense won't work against good teams in the playoffs, just like we saw with Minnesota.
Yeah with 2 bigs and Kyrie, I don't think you can be elite defensively in the modern NBA
