There was a good amount of driving and backing out when Boban was in position under the rim all last year. If we have 2 guys that can get in position on the court, the layup line is quashed IMO. OK, we might give up a few more 3's, but I don't think it offsets the layup line difference.(11-29-2020, 12:19 AM)Branduil Wrote: On the perimeter against a team that's gone small? Absolutely.
KP's teams have always been better on D when he is next to a another big. KP's teams have always been worse on D when he is the only big.
So the evidence and data say this is false.
It is crazy to me how this old wives tale has gotten so much belief from people as though it is gospel truth. Bizarre.
