I put Bradley Beal, DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and our own DLO in this category. They are all various forms of disaster on defense, yet they can all fill it up and get you a bucket when everything else breaks down.
I think what Future was trying to say above is that you can't make any of these guys a centerpiece. They are almost like very highly paid role players, with their role being to score the ball. But they aren't build-around type guys.
Yeah, Zach would be an incredible 2nd or 3rd option. He cannot be the focal point.
He actually would be the perfect 2nd piece off of Towns. Instead our organization chooses to employ ball dominant guards to surround him.
Why they have not settled on Towns and built around him behooves me.

You realize Lavine has had a higher usage rate then Dlo the last 2 years. Lavine and Dlo are very similar players just Dlo has one outlier season in there of winning basketball. In the end just don't think we are in any better place if the Wolves are paying lavine then Dlo

Well he is also on a shit team, much like our own. Just saying that I think LaVine and Towns compliment each other very well. Zach certainly is capable of getting his own off-ball. I haven't seen that with DLO, Wiggins, Rubio, or Edwards.
I am mostly just pissed we are giving away our top 10 pick to the Warriors.
