He's also kind of putting a lid on the advantage he has of being a stretch 5. The idea is you're a big who can shoot threes, not a 3-point shooter who happens to be big. NBA 3-point champion or not, he still has a job to do in the paint if we want things to be more effective. I get that Memphis is doing an incredible job at shutting our post stuff down, but we're just flat out giving up. Because when Naz Reid comes in when Towns needs to rest, it becomes stupidly obvious to the Grizzlies how to defend us, and then we resort to dudes like D'Lo who play like 2021-22 Russell Westbrook.
