Defense is legit but I had serious concerns about the spacing in your offense. The Wallace fit was a crusher for me as it would allow teams to play off him to help on Wade's drives and double McHale
Same here. I know Wallace shot a good percentage from 3 that year, but it was on pretty low volume and clearly an outlier season when you look at his overall career. I was also bothered by Wade being the only good passer in the starting lineup - having another playmaker would have helped alleviate the spacing issues somewhat.
The 3pt shooting argument is one of my biggest pet peeves. There are many ways to create space besides 3pt shooting. Teams have been able to score just fine well before the recent 3pt shooting explosion. Bradley shooting 40% on high volume, and Wallace shooting 37% is enough for my starting lineup imo (not counting Hinrich and Miller off the bench).
How many more playmakers do you need when you have McHale in the post and Wade on the perimeter? Factor in Wade and Crash attacking the basket as much as they do and getting a combined 17 FT attempts per game.. not to mention how lethal they are in transition, and when you consider my team defense, there will be plenty of fast break opportunities off turnovers. Figured scoring wouldn't be much of an issue, if at all.
