How are we going to address our deficiencies against perimeter orientated bigs??

That's true to a point, but honestly when a guy is 5" taller, you can't really contest his shot unless you have very long arms or you get off the ground quick. Just like in the 94 finals and they played Mason and oakley on dream so ewing could be weakside shot blocker, dream said I can turn and shoot on them all day. He said its like a layup. Scola , Landry and Hayes are try hard short guys for their position. Chuck will always get his hands up while scolandry doesn't so much. Scola lacks footspeed to stay in front of agile players, and sometimes landry goes for punp fake.So when guys get around them on the perimeter and yao is upper ft line, there is a path to the rim. When the reverse happens and yao is out of his confort zone in the paint, it doesn't have to be a dribble drive for a buckets, it can be a pass going to the bucket. When that happens, who can contest the shot at the basket.

WIth Dream, remember that he was taking fadeaway jumpers off the low block, and he was using his "dream shake" to create extra space for himself. It's a different situation from just recovering onto perimeter jump shooter, and you're right some extra length would help more for that shot.
