Agreed. It gives our team more defensive leeway for AD to be everywhere, as opposed closer to the rim. It gives AD more space on offense because someone has to account for a post player. He can play more aggressive on defense and know that a solid defender has his back.

I don't think we get that with Noel and I think they realized that 2 years ago.
