Following potential 2017 draftees...

I think that is one in the same thing right now.

Players who can beat the Warriors are 2-way players, and those are the players everyone wants. It's not like anyone you draft to beat the Warriors is going to be useless against the 28 other teams.

The example I used was Jordan Bell. I think Jordan Bell would potentially be a perfect backup center to combat Warriors lineups where Draymond Green plays center. I think that would be a good pick if you want to win a championship. I think Bell could come in Day 1 and play 10-15 mpg backup center against the growing trend of teams playing small ball centers, especially against a team like the Warriors.

Guys like Jeanne, Pazenicks, or whoever might be a higher potential center due to size, but they aren't as good of fits to give the Jazz versatility to beat the Warriors and other teams that go to small ball lineups.

Yall are being dumb if you are saying picking with the thought of "Does this player help us beat the Warriors" is a bad idea. It's a great idea.

Yes, most now understand the importance of defense and have been easier to quantify it in recent years thanks to new stats and ish. The goal is still the same - get the player who you think will bring the most amount of success to your franchise, the guy who will make your team the best for the longest period of time. That will likely give them the best chance against the Warriors as well, no point in thinking backwards about it.
