You basically remove Wemby’s biggest strength by putting him on a supporting role on defense, also you play a very outdated fronline of 2 seven footers, like we are in 2003 or something. I hope wemby gets to have a modern coach soon

    Yep, they are doing what the Celtics, Grizzlies, Cavs, and Bucks did last year by playing their shotblocking 4 as a weakside defender instead of as a primary rim protector.

    Those were the top 4 defenses in the NBA btw.

      thats why I don’t get why Kerr stupidly made JJJ the 5 in FIBA instead of putting him as the weakside helper. yet people blamed JJJ for playing the role that doesn’t fit his style or utilize his strengths
