[@5abivt]

Nick nailed it . AD was never that offensive force he was a defensive first player. I’d anyone is questioning AD there’s 2 things that explain everything. 1: Memphis is still playing 2 bigs and they’re double teaming AD which is taking him out offensively. 2. AD is heavier and gained muscle last year. He’s lost his endurance, quickness and lift as well as his shot because of it. Playing the 5 it might be a good thing but it’s clear as day that’s the reason why he’s so gassed and takes long breaks
