If he came, he or Luka would have to guard the 2nd or 1st option (maybe Maxi with one of them hidden on the opponent's PF).
That's definitely fair. The way I look at it is that you try to have the other 3 guys really good at defense. Luka also has improved in that area and I think playoff Luka especially will be good defensively.
The Nets were like defense is fine but we can put 3 top 10 offensive players on the same team so let's do that. They are the favorites in the East. We will see how they do against teams like the Sixers that play good defense.
For the Mavs you wouldn't have 3 top 10 players, you would have 1 top 10 guy and two top 30 scorers. The thing I like about it is in the playoffs everyone is trying on defense and buckets are hard to come by. I like having 3 guys that can get some tough buckets.
