Not to many bigs can take you off the dribble like Freak and spicy P. I do agree with him to a certain extent cuz I don't think anyone will ever be able to duplicate what the W's did. Draymond was a one of a kind player for like 3 years of their title run until the jumper left him.
One thing you're all forgetting is
1/ having size is much more important in half court possessions which is a huge part of playoffs basketball as teams tend to play much slower
2/ one thing no one ever talks about is why draymond texted KD and said "you see what we're missing"
he meant half court offense at the end of the game. that was why the warriors failed in '15-16 season vs lebron because at the end of every game the warriors struggled to score. half court offense was punished by their lack of size ON BOTH sides of the floor when GS also started switching on the Lebron PNR and Curry had to defend Lebron 1on1
