People don’t realize, the game and shooting or where you shoot from is heavily influenced by the rules… always has been. Imagine if they made an illegal offense rule that said you were not allowed to have the ball above the 3 pt line for more than 3 seconds? There would be a lot less 3pt shots. Or what if they increased the size of the key by 25%? With no illegal D, and zones, they might push shooters out even farther. There’s talk about a 4pt line… go ahead and put one in, it won’t be used by anyone except a handful of people… it’ll be considered a “bad shot”… and coaches will discourage players from taking it… defenses will dare players to take it. Sound familiar? That’s the 3pt shot of the 80s and 90s. The game goes as the rules go. The league wanted to see more shooting, so they changed the rules… and the players adapt. It’s not better or worse, you just adapt to the game in front of you.
The answer is Dwight. Defensive monster who would erase flaws of the others on D… then on offense, huge screens and maybe, outside of Shaq, the biggest threat ever rolling to the basket which would give the others wide open shots because they have to respect Dwight. Too much uncertainty with AD and his skills etc overlaps with the others. Jokic… with the others, his 3pt shooting become obsolete and there is plenty of play making in the group. His D is too weak to anchor the D.
Dwight is the only answer.
