re: B is not a fit with Z??

Arre teams doubling Z by not guarding B?

What? People are saying this because they’re both fairly high usage players who live near the basket. BI plays further back but not further back enough to give Zion space to work. Also both require the ball to be useful and neither are plus defenders. This means that they often trade off scoring which works often but isn’t an optimal setup. Ideally you want your two best players to complement each other more than that.
