2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jommybone]

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.

I’m agnostic about switch everything vs. don’t. I was just expressing surprise (“Really?”) that KL thought our current roster prevents Kidd from going that route. KL since clarified it is the presence of Porzingis that he was referencing, not the absence of switch-capable players, so I now understand his point. But it is not obvious how long KP will be here, so I still think it is quite possible Kidd plans to switch everything. More likely he plans to use multiple defenses and switch them up. But again, I don’t know or particularly care. I just think the Mavs are better equipped now than in recent memory to employ exactly that brand of defense. So Killer’s seeming disagreement surprised me.
