Hilarious.
I don’t think people understand just how important spacing is. We now have three guys that can get to the rim a bunch, the last thing anyone should want is someone consistently clogging the lane for them. There is value in posting up on occasion, but why the hell would anyone want a 60 year old knee’d Blake posting up when we have an mvp candidate, an all star, and a fringe all star in Brogdon. Also, it’s all personal dependent, our best offensive players are guards and wings. Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, Towns etc score plenty inside, they just usually face up a ton.
If there’s a lane, of course you can take it to the rim, but this antiquated idea of posting up just because it’s what players used to do? Nah lol.
