And by that I mean elite player that happens to be a stretch 5. My qualifications would be that they are a 40 or near 40 percent 3 point shooter in high volume(so like KAT or Dirk) but they need to be able to also defend as I think that’s the most important role of the C. If he’s not gonna defend, I might as well find a more versatile player.
I feel like in another life KG could’ve been that guy. There was hopes of AD turning into that guy. Jokic/Embiid are great and are superstars, but they are also offensive hubs and not as good of hubs as a guy like LBJ. Give me like Dirk’s offense with Bam’s defense and that’s the ultimate 5 man in these best starting lineups questions.
