Rebounding. Rim protection. Lob finishing. He's overpaid, but it's Cuban's money not mine.
Reminds me of similar takes on this board when the Mavs signed DAJ. Gobert´s decline isn´t quite as bad but he is trending in the same direction. Block numbers are down. DFG% in the paint isn´t what it used to be. Rebounding numbers are down.
Some of it could be because he simply doesn´t fit next to another "slow" big like Kat. But if that is the case I am not sure if he is the right answer for a team that wants to build around Luka and his athletic limitations.
