Basketball is a game of adaptation. Teams that refuse to evolve typically get left behind in the dust.
Now more than ever, the NBA has been dominated by teams that focus on “versatility” – an effective, but cliche buzzword that everyone associates with winning teams.
While “small ball” has taken over the league, the basis of it really doesn’t apply to size.
Successful teams have players on the floor that can play on both ends of the ball.
The big men are capable of spacing the floor and they could also switch onto guards, and defend the paint adequately.
