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.Good point on Kidd. We’re not totally sure what he wants to do. It will be clear once we see the postseason and offseason
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.
Davis is similar to KP in a way. It makes sense to shield them in the reg season and have them do the dirty work only in the playoffs. It’s a shame we couldn’t make it work like that here with KP
The Clippers……yes they use Zubac(and i don’t think anyone is clamoring for a small ball only rotation) but Zubac was a negative last postseason. They didn’t beat us with him. They destroyed us with the wings. It’s almost like we’re at a point in NBA where if you don’t have a small ball option, you will lose
