Kanter still sucks.

Kanter just isn't quick enough to guard the Warriors' small ball lineup -- their bigs are more mobile than the Spurs bigs, and the Warriors have been killing OKC with 3's when Kanter has been playing.

Sorry to burst your bubble but if we play the GSW when they go small, we really can't play Gobert neither. He also can't chase around screen with Draymond or worse got switched onto Curry. Very few big men can, that's why small lineup 5s like Ibaka or Adams are so valuable.

Gobert's numbers were pretty hideous against a lot of smaller lineups. Portland and Houston in particular.

Gobert's mobility obviously wasn't the same after the MCL sprain. He has the mobility to hang with any small-ball lineup. He just needs his health; and he wasn't going to get healthy without more time off than the season permitted.

*the so-called "ultra-small" lineups would be a problem for Gobert. But not many teams run those. And Gobert will develop offense to hurt those kinds of lineups.

The trend is every team will have a stretch PF soon. Some offenses could even go 5 out on a full time basis when they face the Jazz. Those would be particularly devastating for Gobert as he would be 20" away from the basket, and on the other end they just put some 6'7" guy on Gobert and he doesn't have an offense to even punish them. The scouting report was out on the Jazz last year, and well coached teams with the proper personnel dissected us. Getting more players that can switch on defense will help. Our PGs last year were too small to switch on a 6'7" player. Exum, on the other hand, could switch and throw a huge wrench in their plans. It's why I think the Jazz will target Baldwin in the draft.

Adams + Ibaka better than Favors + Gobert? Bubble totes busted bro.
