They see the league swinging back to bigger lineups as these guys come with more skills than just standing under the basket for a rebound. Claimed part of the change was driven by a drubbing they got last season when AD+Gaff smoked them during a late season game. I don't remember it as I was still in Luka-remorse, but I guess they do.
No doubt on the emboldened part, and that's the rub. How much skill does a big need to bring in order to survive against ALL teams, not just the ones who can't handle their size? Can the roster/coach identify and react to situations wherein that size isn't creating the advantage they hope, and is instead becoming a negative?
