I assumed that what we’d lose offensively re: spacing, outside shooting, etc with Adams we’d make up for in defense. And perhaps it would even be worse without him...
But, it seems that with the way teams have been playing us, Adams is starting to look like a big plodding dinosaur who can’t defend the three, and thus gets involved in so much action outside, that he’s unavailable to defend the rim, which is where we desperately need him. Didn’t Stan have a center like that in Detroit who despite his inside presence was rapidly shown to be an ill fit in today’s NBA?
