Yeah...you guys get what I am saying when I made the No Max comment. Bigs that are slow but have elite instincts or elite skills are different. I still would question Maxing them if their defense is suspect. Jokic...questionable defense(probably displays better IQ defense in playoffs when it matters)...but the dude is otherworldly...you have to max him. KP is a Unicorn but doesnt display elite skills. Hard to not Max him though so I dont fault the Mavs. Going forward I would make sure my paid big plays above average defense...no questions about it.
