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.

This last sentence is so on point .

So you really want to play a switch everything defense? The offense just sets picks until they have their missmatch and trust me there is always one. Good defenses preswitch or avoid switches at all.
