This playoffs must be a conflict for you, being a huge proponent of a rim running center and watching this team flourish under a primarily 5 out game plan. Do you not see the beauty and efficiency of this? We are effectively countering max (or soon to be max) centers with an MLE guy that is playing good defense and shooting occasional 3s.
I want JC. I thoroughly believe he allows you to play 5 out. I also think he gives you a rim-running element to mix it up.
It is Luka and a Kidd defensive scheme (not Maxi) who is effectively countering the max centers. I am not suggesting getting rid of Luka or Kidd. And just because something is working for Luka right now, doesn't mean there isn't a better way forward to make things even easier on him.
