Relying on playmakers is standard for big men. It’s why they are hardly offensive savants which I documented earlier. This is why if you’re drafting a big man with a top pick he must project as an elite defender.
I agree. I mean if your big man requires another player to set him up, then why not draft JJJ or Bamba or even Robert Williams and get the defense out of him as well?
Bagley has to be capable of taking other players 1 on 1. Maybe not right this second, but it'll be absolutely required in the future or else this is a wasted pick.
