And even so i don’t think we even have the ability to test it out to see if it truly works. Every time he’s at PF it usually means THj or another undersized guard is at the 3. The most minutes have KP at the 5. Neither of those situations IMO gives us a true indication of what it would be like.
To really test it out you need a legit C that’s capable of playing D(New Powell and WCS would work). And we’d need someone at the 3 who isn’t so undersized. My theory is if we were able to get a high quality 3 through trade or FA we could pull the trigger and still keep DFS as a starter if we wanted.
In this new NBA it just seems that you can’t have too many 6’7” players on the court. There’s a league wide shortage and we only have one
I wouldn't say THJ is at the three (at least on defense), as you still have Luka, who has a decent size for SF.
Nets is second team in a row that basically plays small ball. Durant is tall but it is not like he is bullying below the rim. And their starting center is basically a slow and grounded PF. I think in games against teams like that we can have a wing at PF and be successful.
btw: Brooklyn should kill for a guy like Powell. Guy that hustles, brings energy, plays defense. Basically the opposite of Griffin
