France trying to post up Gobert... lol He gets and 1.

Theo Maledon playing for France a bit. He's projected lottery pick in the next draft.

Also, the guy Boston signed Poirier looking good.

Rudy back in with 6 minutes to go in the second quarter.

No but they are trying to post him up. LOL Has gotten 2 and 1s from it.

End of Q2. Gobert has 8/4/2/1 statline 3/3 from the field. 2/4 from FT.

edit: start of Q3... Collet is doing the exact same thing he did last time - he's not starting his starters in the second half. He's weird...

Gobert back in the game with 4 mins to go in Q3.

Gobert scores on yet another post up. They are letting him establish deep position and feeding him the ball against smaller defenders. He's not missed yet. 3/3 on those postups.

Gobert exits the game with 6 minutes to go in a blowout win, finishes the game with 12/5/2/2 statline 4/4 from the field 4/6 from the line.

Maledon looks good BTW. Looks better than Exum was at that age. He also looks better than Frank Ntilikina is right now and he's 3 years younger. I wouldn't be shocked if he's drafted pretty high next year.

Why do we want Rudy to play and create from the post? That's not who he is and it's a bad shoot anyway. He would benefit from a floater or a close range shoot when the defense collapse on a roll though

Why would we want a center to develop a post move?' I'm legitimately confused here. Why wouldn't we? A floater? Why does Rudy need a floater? Floaters are for dribblers that get into the lane. As fat as a "close range shot", the only way he gets that is by posting up. How else is he getting the ball that close?

How does he get the ball close to the rim for all those dunks last year? It wasn't by posting up.

By pick and roll in which Gobert is great at. That takes two to tango though. I'm seriously so confused as to why people think Rudy developing a post move is a terrible thing. Why are guys so against it? Him dominating the post on offense would be huge not only for him but for spacing. We have enough shooters. I think he could easily be an 18+ppg player.

Maybe I'm missing something here...

Uhhhh nearly nobody posts up dude. Most inefficient offense

Rudy is gonna ave 18 without any of this post up rubbish. Just by doing what he is elite at but now with space to move
