Dude is devastating when allowed to play his true position. Best weakside rim protector I have seen.
I’ve still yet to get an answer of why LA never signed another center after Dwight destroyed Jokic and they won a chip. fukking baffling. Yea we wanted AD at the 5 but not against Jokic….. ‘Jokic got better’. shyt, not that much better in 3 years. Makes absolutely no sense
At the very same time, AD is responsible for tanking his own legacy potential by falling off a cliff as a 3pt shooter. His contemporaries all got better from 3; Jokic, Embiid, Brook Lopez, Marc Gasol, maybe now Bam Etc. MeanwhileAD went from serviceable to ‘bruh please do not shoot 3s’.
Part of why AD can’t play the 4 is he can’t shoot 3s. If he could,AD as a stretch 4 was gonna be a cheat code, lakers woulda won another chip, and he’s around top 20 all time.
