I've always wondered why this defensive strategy isn't more common. Like, usually, the guys that get aggressively double-teamed are your Steph Currys and your Damian Lillards, where you're trying to force the ball out of their hands so they don't break you down off the dribble. The thing is, though, these guys are typically very skilled at passing out of double teams, so usually all that happens is that they get the ball to a teammate and reset the possession; it doesn't lead to a turnover or anything. Whereas if you saw that a poor-dribbling, poor-passing big man had the ball, it seems like swarming him would have a much greater chance of causing him to panic and cough up the ball, which would create a much bigger advantage for your team.
