Luka can't defend scoring PGs on the perimeter.
THJs defensive problems are, that he doesn't know what to do. That's great in a switchheavy defense.
Letting your non-offense center getting switched makes it useless to play him.
But worst of all: putting Dwight into a can't switch category.
Ouch.
Not with ya, Mapka. In a switcheroo defense, your pg defender doesn’t stay on the pg, so the individual matchups are quite beside the point. Yeah, THJ isn’t great on D. Right. Previously mentioned. Doesn’t mean he can’t switch. Just means he isn’t a plus defender—regardless of scheme. Think you’re underestimating the value of having a switch-capable rim defender on the floor. And Dwight, through no fault of his own, gives up free throws nearly every on-ball possession he defends, usually for placing his chin on someone’s elbow.
Feel free to throw another takedown my way.
