2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jommybone]

So, I don't get how different it would be to have Collins/Siakam/Isaac types at the C spot and no one suggests DFS or even Luka just play the C full time. 

I'll say, I think a lot of the injuries that are happening throughout the NBA so much are because of players being asked to play outside the ability they should play. At this moment, I'm talking mostly about smaller guys being asked to play against bigs but I think the statement has multiple applications. When we ask someone 220-240 to go up against guys that are 260-280, you're asking for injury to your guys.

This sounds logical. But if you’ve watched the NCAA tournament regularly since the addition of the 3 point line back in the 80s, the game evolved there in the very same way. As soon as 3-point percentages get high enough, shooting and defending the 3 becomes the most essential skill. The difficulty of shooting those extra-long NBA 3s kept big men viable an extra couple of decades or so. But they’re gonna hafta adapt to survive. 

BTW, a few days ago I posted that Maxi and DFS might provide most of the minutes at the 5 next year. So it kinda has been suggested.
