MC pod was excellent really enjoyed the discussion Prefacing this by saying I’m higher on Max than most, but imo the backcourt of Dlo/AR needs to be broken up, it’s just not capable enough defensively against elite teams. You guys talked about how great Max looks next to Vando and AD and it feels like to me he’d slot perfectly next to Dlo in the starting lineup. He can defend the second best ball handler while Vando takes the top guy and with 3 primary options in Dlo LBJ and AD he can just spot up and cut on offense. Needs minutes to prove he’s an every night nba player but what are your thoughts on how his specific skillset can help balance out an offensive heavy lineup?
