Saying we have Dorian for that when it comes to a big defensive wing as though you want to only designate one position for it doesn't make much sense. Also we put a lot on Dorian, and while he's a very good defender, he's not elite in my mind. Giving him and Bullock support defensively would take a big load off them to literally carry the defense for the team. Also it's not just about height. A wing can be within an inch of another wing in height, yet be at a much bigger disadvantage because of wingspan. Makes a big difference.
We are talking about adding somebody like Wiggins vs Grant. I would rather have Wiggins. I really don't think Grant's extra inch is that big of a factor. Who the are the multiple big wings on the team that just won the title? Draymond? He is two inches shorter and plays center half the time. The next biggest wing is Wiggins. Marcus Smart is 6' 4" and I would rather have him guard any player 1-5 vs Grant. We need a defensive wing. Size is a factor, but not an overriding one.
