Fourth quarters of NBA contests often transform in the sense that the pace tends to slow while defenses bear down, resulting in more isolation possessions targeting weaker defenders.
Steve, it seems like Jordi refuses to place Danny Wolf in a box. I sure he's the biggest player on the team, yet he plays next to Day'Ron Sharpe at times. Because we're not playing for post-season accolades, it's alright to experiment. Once we're poised to start winning, hopefully next season, I'm sure Jordi will commit to him playing Center while doing all the flashy things that make him special.
I don't think we know who will be on the Nets' roster when they're "poised to start winning." I don't think it will be next season either. Personally, I'm not high on Wolf as a starting NBA center. Not enough rim protection. I just thought that particular group on the floor was interesting, and it's certainly atypical with regard to how this team has approached lineups in the past.
In no way am I comparing Wolf to Jokic, but Aaron Gordon really helps their defense when he's available. Couple that with the scheme they run to protect Jokic, there's something Jordi can implement to make it work for us and Claxton is the key to it all. I honestly contend that Wolf, Claxton, and MPJ will represent our starting frontcourt going forward, and that whoever we draft will simply be another piece to the puzzle
