Not sure that is what Kidd is looking to be like (Boston or Toronto...BTW, both teams are looking for a starting C). It's not sustainable over a full season and playoffs. There's a reason Davis said when he got to LA that he would not be a C during the regular season, but would in the playoffs if needed. There's a lot of wear and tear on smaller bodies having to put out the effort to push against the bigger bodies.
LAC employs Zubac and starts him on a team full of large wings that COULD do what people around here are thinking is the best way to build. That says it all to me. They do utilize the small ball C during the game as a change of pace/different look, it's not a full-time strategy like those around here want to be.
