No Center can defend against a good Pick, that forces a switch.
That’s why they do it.
And the few small ball centers that can defend on an island give up Tons of size.
Even if they can stand their ground to a real Center, they wear down pretty fast.
About going out of their way, I think it's more like going back to our way in having multiple ways.
Agreed, I mean even DPOY Gobert got forced off the court in some playoff-series.
KP looks just fine, even on the defensive end. I did not check the numbers but I am pretty sure he's a clear plus on that side of the ball. Correct me if I'm wrong.
KP overall looks even better than in the bubble, because he does not force things and he actually looks like he wants to be here. Way more positive attitude. I guess he's accepted his role as clear number two, since he's actually getting treated like the co-star and not some Kelly Olynik-tpe.
He looks mobile and healthy, also very "stable" if that makes sense. He just plays good basketball, right now.
problem is his health. I got excited about this dude so mane times only to be let down by his body. I can't take it anymore. If there's a deal on the table, you have to take it. His value is okay I would say. BUT Cuban and the Mavs won't settle for someone without a big name and a real big name won't come up. So we are stuck between making a bad deal or waiting for KP's next major injury which will demolish his trade value for good. I know I sound bitter bit it's just a sure thing, IMHO. Even without his history a dude this tall is a LOCK for injuries.
