We had the “wing” talk not too long ago and from that, I took away that wings are guys that stand on the wing on offense. With that being the takeaway, why is tgere any sort of hesitation in calling THJ a wing? In the recent Locked on Mavs pod, they called THJ a “quasi-wing”, why the “quasi”?
The wing is the 2 long range spaces to the left and right of the ball handler (please correct me if I’m wrong), how does that not make Kleber not a wing? He hardly ever sets picks and basically moves from the corner and up, same spots as DFS, Bullock and THJ.
Why can’t Wood be considered a wing for the same reasons? From what it sounds like, when we play 5 out, we play with a ball handler and 4 wings. Sure, there are times that a “big” plays pnr with the ball handler, but that will not be exclusively the way we play all minutes during that time.
All that to say, we really only have 2 exclusively bigs on the roster. Powell and McGee. There are others that can play that role, but they can also play other roles too. Positionless basketball.
Bigs: Powell, McGee, Wood
Wings: DFS, Bullock, THJ, Maxi, Wood, Green, Frank, Luka, Spencer, Hardy, Bertans
Ball Handler: Luka, Spencer, Frank, Hardy, Green
