I just think fit and synergy are real things caused by real on-court problem solving, not caused by "perceptions."
1) I don't think it MUST work....but I think it is worth trying when you have that level of talent. No fit is guaranteed (see Delon Wright). There is a real possibility KP + Gobert wouldn't be good.
2) I think fit and synergy are HUGE (hence I have nervousness about Gobert's possible off court fit in particular). I just think there are false perceptions a) about Gobert and how good he is and b) about the theoretical fit of Gobert/KP defensively that don't accurately reflect what we know.
