If you want Carter up higher in the drop coverage:
a) you're not really play drop
b) more help needs to come from wings to stunt on Hield
c) the corners need to come over stronger and help the paint

This is what happens when you show higher on the drop and don't receive help on the roll man.
The Bucks have run drop with Brook Lopez the last couple years. This is how he's positioned in the paint.

Compare where Wendell is positioned on this Haliburton MR floater to where Lopez plants himself in the above example.
It's the same territory.
If you think this is bad defense by Carter, your issue is with the scheme, not his positioning.

Holmes scores even with Wendell staying home in the paint. But if he shows higher on the screen, this is a dunk for Holmes because the helper (Temple) isn't in position to do anything and the ball defender (Coby) hasn't rotated to Holmes or retreated back to his initial cover.
For those lumping this all on Carter, here's an example of DG positioning himself at the same spot -- a step behind the free-throw line (as he should).
He's the play of that caption. The drop gives up an open three [bold] not because of the center [/bold] but because the defense on the ball-handler is weak and those stunting and helping on the driver are either late, don't come over or out of position.
I will stop now, I'm just tired of this lazily being lumped on the bigs and the scheme when it's not really their fault.
If you don't like the results thus far, it's far more on the POA and help perimeter defense, something that would be an issue in a drop scheme or any other!
