You can't put this on a single guy. Clippers five out is basically removing the effect of help defense where Gobert excells. If he helps Clipps have an open three pointer. If he is with a shooter at three point line, Kawhi and George have a relatively clean path to the rim.
The answer is actually on the other side, imho. You have to force them to play Zubac. KP couldn't do it and Gobert can't. Rules are not really in favour of big guys pushing around smaller ones. Mavs tried with Bobi but he is not big enough threat downlow, way too slow. Embiid would certainly destroy their small ball. Perhaps Jokic.
