I don't follow the NBA as much these days, but do most teams still runs an offense that plays with a true 5 t/o most of the game?

I never understood this...you can pull a tim duncan on him all you want...But let's be honest he gets hurr playing point blank...doesn't matter if hes playing the 4 or 5...I'd just role a loneup with him Kuz and Lebron in the frontcourt and he guards the big man.

AD IS NOT A CENTER.

WHY DO PPL TRY TO FORCE THIS ON HIM?

HES NOT A BANGER.
HES A FINESSE 4.

HES TOO SMALL & WEAK TO GUARD DUDES LIKE EMBIID, KAT, JOKIC.
:devil:
:evil:



None of these dudes are stopping each other...he is a mismatch for them just like they are to him potentially...he is a big man and if they put a bunch of stretches around him he would just need to deal with it...in fact it could be to his advantage with more spacing.

Nah, Embiid guards and shuts down AD when they play :ufdup:
Since Embiid's sophomore year, when Sixers play Pelicans AD averages 13ppg on 31%FG in 35mpg :mjlol:
Embiid guards him, but AD very rarely actually guards Embiid who is averaging 28 and 18 on 54%FG in only 28mpg in these matchups

He would be at his best at center I hate playeds like this


so you want him to continue beating his body up and taking years off of his career?

the 4 is his natural position and hes not built for the 5.

Id say its matchup dependent but no one is stopping other teams from having the big man guard him when they play.
