Coaching Criminality: All Things Jason Midd | More Guilty Pleas Than Inbounds Plays

Looking at star players that were not elite defenders, you have a very recent case in Curry. He is far from elite defender, yet GSW built around him correctly, surrounding him with elite defenders.

Of course, Luka is a net positive, never said or meant to imply otherwise.  Kyrie is also a net positive assuming he's a in a positive frame of mind with your franchise. 
I responded to the point about having 5 strong switchable defenders.   

Your talent just won't always allow you to fill every rotation with the ideal defenders and still be better than every other team in the NBA trying to get those type people on the floor.  
If you have elite offensive talents like Jokic and Brook Lopez who are not maybe as defensively switchable as other players at their position, then your coaches have to play to their strengths when they are on the floor because overall they can still be net positives.  That was the point to the part of my post you quoted.
