No we don't. We have one and we don't use him. If anything, it would be just great if they could teach Maxi, Powell and KP some post up moves. The rest is great.
To whom are you referring? Bobi? I love him but he's not a good defender and not a banger.
True he's not a real 'banger'. His defense, historically and statistically is in the ok range so he not terrible, especially in the right matchups. Right now his problem and any other big man coming in is that they need to be better than the current inside rotation.
They have to be net better than the combination going right now of KP/Powell/Kleber with Boban being the #4 big on the depth chart? I'm not even thinking about a banger from the 1/2/3 because you have DFS there and your backcourt rotation is scorching and getting better.
Yeah, they may bang better but will they be more athletic than those 3, hustle more and give you a better 2-way offensive mix without btw taking away from Doncic/KP and the guys that are right now sharing the offensive load? This offense is #1. I just ... don't ... mess with it.
Tbqh, Boban while not a banger is just so friggin big of a body, and he does throw that big body into the post and he rebounds too, that you get somewhat of a banger effect when he's in the game and as posted earlier, Rick doesn't often even find the need to use that.
You almost have to be talking about an Allstar front line player, unless you're talking about a guy that comes in mainly to bang while giving up something else. Don't see them being better than the current rotation although maybe you replace Bobi with a real banger, but you'll also lose a situational advantage you hold on to with Boban as an ace in the hole.
