Well I somewhat agree but disagree. We don't have the roster, but there isn't a center in the league that we have the roster to support right now because we do not have great shooters. The center is not our problem, in my opinion. It's the other guys. We have a solid defensive team. Our team is built on defense. We are Pistonesque in that we are going to win games by Spurs D, but it's a different kind of D. Spurs are not bruisers like Detroit was. The Spurs play the passing lanes and have athletes that can switch. Everyone in the starting lineup, include Jakob, can switch and guard a guy on the perimeter, even DDR can sometimes. It is our defense and pace that makes us compe ive and our superior bench. Without that, we'd lose every game by 30 points.
But you could put most centers in the league on this team and you'd have the same problems on offense. We have the defense, but we need guys to continue to improve on outside shooting and shot creation and execution. We also don't have a Top Dog scorer. Those are hard to get. DDR is as close as we got. He's good, but he's more of a two. We need a star beyond him and maybe if we stink and end up in the lottery, we can get that. Otherwise, we just have to hope for internal improvement. But getting rid of Jakob won't fix that. He's a good modern center. You don't need to be a three point shooter if you can play game changing defense. Even in a league with high scoring, you need good defense. That's why the Jazz are number one and that's why the 76ers are number two. Great defenses. You need offense, but you need a good enough defense. The Spurs just need time to cook and get better and develop on offense.
