THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer
(12-14-2022, 05:47 PM)mvossman Wrote: So I am looking at this a little differently.  I am thinking two bigs but no traditional bigs.  You could almost think of it as two PF and no center.  Powell, Maxi and Collins all have the mobility to play PF and the size to play small ball center.  Putting two of those guys on the court at the same time gives you more length and rebounding without sacrificing the ability to play a switch heavy defense.  We could still play plenty of minutes with one of those guys as a single big, providing even more lineup flexibility.

And that's rad! Love it! 

Right up to the point where you say (and this is more of @"DanSchwartzgan"'s argument than yours) that one of those guys can ONLY be played with another one, as in "______ can't be played as a solo big."  At that point, if the statement is correct, I flatly don't want that player in my rotation. THAT is NOT flexibility.

You might disagree with this, which is fine, but just to be clear, while I like what you're selling above (it is flexibility, as long as it's just an option), I suspect it would be less useful from a frequency of use perspective than playing one big...unless you happen to have two uncommonly skilled and athletic guys at once. Idk, maybe that would differ from coach to coach.
