Initial mocks had Kessler going earlier. Now folks have talked themselves out of him. IMO we are overthinking and should grab him if available.
I understand the concerns of switching on the perimeter. Even Rudy can’t keep up in the playoffs. I understand all that. However we can’t get too caught up with GS to ignore that players like Jokic, Embiid, KAT are doing very well. Stephen Adam and Valuncianis are a handful too. Heck even Zubac is a handful. The Mavs got killed by Looney.
Luka’s body is not suited for a run and gun game. I don’t see him also ever being open to a motion offense where he has to move a lot without the ball. The Mavs need to play half court type offense with some wings who can shoot. Maybe a traditional big does hamper us as we go deep. However a traditional big defender will help a lot in the regular season. It will also help in defensive matchups where bigs are still dominating today.
