Sgt., What I'm saying is DC will be our offensive low post player. NN will be setting screens at the top of the circle (ala Fab) and playing high/low ball from the foul line feeding DC and CJ. On the defensive end NN can either play the 5 and protect the rim if DC or anyone else gets beat or play the 4 . Coaches decision. But, in no way do they both strictly play the 5. The way that DC has progressed and the talent of NN , both have to play. Worrying about offense with NN on the court is ludricrous, he is a game changer on the defensive end.
  Magic played point guard, but only on the offensive end. Nixon and others defended the other teams PG, Magic always covered a bigger player defensively. Whether we call NN a 5 or 4 depends on which team has the ball. No way I want NN as our low post offensive threat, but I sure want him defending the rim. Both guys get plenty of time and gives us plenty of options. But to think that DC won't play the 5 on the offensive end regardless of NN, or that DC will keep NN off the court is absurd. James and Rak's playing time will be affected. Not wanting or not being impressed by NN is laughable. Anthony Davis, David Robinson and Okafor come to mind. He is a great talent and every single school in the country would take and want him. So I think his view is more than a little different. lol.
