There was a time where Melo at the PF spot was a serious mismatch because he was quicker than all of them while having enough strength. That quickness ain't there anymore, and big men are either getting smaller and quicker also or those with true PF size are quicker. So as a 6'7/6'8" PF who isn't blowing past your matchup or getting the same lift on your jumpers what is your bread & butter?

Yeah those Mike Woodson teams were serious with Melo at 4 and Stat at the 5 during certain stretches.
