NBA game has changed since then. You have to be able to go small or punish opponent when they do. Preferably both.
Kidd wants to dramatically improve the D…not just bring in Iwundu and draft a late first rookie with a defensive reputation.
Does that combination of things lead you to prioritize C (Holmes seems quite available) or PF (Collins is much less of a sure thing) as one of the two major pieces I hope we sign this offseason (the other being another creator who defends well)?
