I admit that Maxi isn’t great. But he is darn good at everything the NBA asks of a modern big. He spreads the floor, protects the rim, and switches screens with aplomb. He is the special sauce to our big mac. No Maxi = no 5 out. No isolating Rudy or DeAndre on Luka. No 40 to 20 advantage on 3-point attempts. This team would be worse without him. Heck, Luka would be worse without him.
