re: Towns or Okafor. Russell or Mudiay.

Whereas basically every other championship team of the past decade has featured a dominant iso scorer along with great ball movement and a strong defensive anchor.

I'm not saying it's impossible to win with a post player but he'd better be able to play some defense. Otherwise you're just going to get what the Thunder have right now with Kanter: stats, no defense and an L, to paraphrase Trevor Booker's words.
