Context: I want to form an all-time team with prime Steph/Klay/KD/LeBron but have issues about the 5.

Jokic is obviously the best out of AD and Dwight but he is not a good rim protector and I have enough scoring/offense with Steph/KD/LeBron and playmaking with Steph/LeBron. Jokic’s screening and rebounding will be really helpful though and he will allow the team to play true 5 out which gives LeBron the best spacing.

AD is the most versatile defender compared to Dwight (more switchable) but he is not big enough to body bigger bigs like Jokic or Shaq. I like AD’s off ball game the most out of the 3 + he is a good FT shooter

Dwight is a defender that matches up the best against true bigs like Shaq and he has a good off ball game when focused on his strengths (unlike say 2011 where he stopped PnR due to media pressure).

Which big fits this team the best?

    AD for the defense

    But Joker would be A1 setting all those guys up (they don’t need it but he would be great at it.

    I would say Dwight but he never had a midrange game which would allow KD/Lebron/even Steph to cut.

    So AD is my choice.
