Which means that with DDO, Konov most likely would be playing as a 4 most of the time if not all the time.
Yup. So the 3 is usually a shorter guard. So unless you have Blatche or Lebron you will be undersized at the 3.
This is why Blatche was so important to Chot. With Blatche acting as a giant guard on offense, you can have a lesser skilled Pingris add size at the 3. The problem is there is only one Blatche in the world. We cannot add size in the 3 position without a Blatche or a point forward NP. Thats a high level of skill.
Compare this to Tabs system, where only fundamental dribbling and 3 pt shooting skills are needed at the 3. So you can go big as you can at the 3 as long as the guy can defend the perimeter. So you have a 6'7/8 Baltazar playing 3 in situations. A giant lineup of Kai, Kouame, Balti, Navarro and Dwight could be used in certain cases.
For DDO, you sometimes see 6'2 Pogoy at 3. That is a defensive nightmare for us.
