The NBA is leaning heavily toward five-out lineups where all five guys start their offense outside the three-point line, then take turns dribble-driving to the hoop just to kick back out for an open three when the defense collapses. The Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets are masters of this style, leaning 100% into this on nearly every possession.
Normally, that scheme renders an old school big man obsolete because he (a) doesn’t shoot the three very well and (b) can’t move his feet fast enough to defend in space on the perimeter. So, the common understanding is that old-school big men cannot hold up in today’s NBA.
