But ya, in general more dynamic and versatile skilled players is usually a good thing and a probably a good trend to follow.
I think he's referring to the time that Lopez was pulled and Giannis was moved to the 5. That tactic seems to be what turned the tied from down 0-2. Made Ayton into a complete negative for the rest of the series and completely annihilated PHX's pick and roll stuff.
I agree with you that Giannis isn't "small", and that's why I never thought the term "small ball" worked in every situation for which people use it.
