Thanks for posting. Watch again. Note a few things. How close is KO's face to pooles space. Look at the motion poole makes, it wouldn't look awkward if no one was around him. He simply moved his arms and the ball up. A natural movement. Nothing out of the ordinary about it. Look at the second replay. Its pooles SHOULDER that hits KO, not his elbow. Kind of hard to throw a shoulder out far from your body. Kelly was too close. Dude needs to have space to move naturally. Lastly notice how hard KO goes down. Epic flop. He was just fine. The shoulder contact to the face was slight. KO was simply trying to manipulate the refs into a call. Which was the correct thing to do in that desperation scenario.

Yep. It's playing the game the way the NBA encourages them to play it. Flop, get the call, free throws, profit.

100% spot on

Some of this is scheme. I think Hardy isn't playing a traditional drop with him and he spends more time switching out on the perimeter than Gobert did. He's "out of position" a lot because of this. He's learning when he can cheat to the paint and when he needs to stay on his man. When he can set his heels in the paint with his back to the baseline he is deadly, ALREADY elite.

I could be wrong, but I dont think Walker has switched onto a guard all season (it's probably happened once or twice, but it's rare). He plays a deeper drop than Gobert did.

Exactly. I have no idea what this switching talk is about

Maybe big to big switching where he gets matched up on a more perimeter based big, idk. Jazz also switch a lot of stuff back off-ball. Or maybe he is talking about when they play zone and everyone is out of place because our zone is mediocre.
