Killer is going to throw up in his mouth a little bit, but I think he is going to play the 4 defensively more often than not (hopefully with Maxi generally at the 5). I'm hoping he can be an average perimeter/switching defender with proper motivation. From what I have read, the is little reason to hope that he becomes a good rim protector.
I don’t understand why not. Career numbers between Maxi and Wood they both average the same amount of blocks on the same amount of mpg. With a switchable defense you would want more than 1 shot blocker on the floor for most of the game too because without that the offense just does what Luka does to them, bring the rim protector out and attack him.
