To be fair, the 4 names you listed are doing that kind of damage to everyone in the league. Especially Jokic and Sabonis who are probably two of the hardest bigs to defend in the league due to how skilled they are.
Also, with Bam, the first meeting he went off, but Allen played him straight up in the 2nd game and not only did we win but Allen dropped 11/11/1/1 on 5-6FG and was a +24 on the night.
Now another name you listed was Thomas Bryant (who I think is an underrated player) and if I'm not mistaken Bryant was coming in on the 2nd unit so we would need to see how that broke down about who allowed what. Even then, Allen still dropped 13/15/5asts/2blks on good efficiency in that game (which we got screwed when Beal injured Irving because he's a dick).
Allen needs to bulk up, I'm with you there but I still see improvement on his end and frankly he is the least of the Nets' concerns. With Allen, DJ and Claxton I'm not worried about center. I'm worried about consistency and production from the wing, which have been abysmal this season. Let's hope that Caris LeVert has finally woken up because if not imo that's a bigger problem than anything Allen is doing right now.
I addressed LeVert + wing production in my original post. And as part of my agenda, I complimented JA a lot as a follow up.
Calling something a concern doesn't mean it's a huge deal. Which is why I ended my post saying nothing gets done. And I don't think saying Capela at 25 (with 40 playoff starts under his belt) is more playoff ready than 21 year old JA is some huge attack. We'll see how how he does in the playoffs this year.
We're 22-27. We have a lot of concerns if we're talking about getting to a championship level. Some might just need time, some might require actual moves.
