Mauro Pedrosa 1,028 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Ibaka would not survive guarding someone like Aron Gordon, the league has a lot of young talented 4s that are too quick for Ibaka. Don't believe me is fine, but watch for yourself when he has to guard one and you might see how much Biyombo or Vic has to fill in to pickup. Ibaka at the 5 for us is a perfect move, he can stretch 5's at the 3 which gives plenty of room for slashing, pick and pops and screens. Naturally that would leave Gordon to match up the 4''s which won't matter who because he can handle their speed. Again, agreed. Vogel is allergic to small ball though. It would be nice to see an alternate reality with D'Antoni coaching our team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mauro Pedrosa 1,028 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Instead of Gordon and Ibaka at the 4-5, Vogel has played Biz and Vuc together EVERY SINGLE GAME FML Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnettej 263 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Which is why I hated the trade of Dipo.... we needed perimeter defense more than paint in my opinion, we were always getting killed by the 3 even with Dwight. Dipo is a very good defender, him with Gordon and Biyombo might have had a better effect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barnettej 263 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Where is the perimeter defense to my earlier point? Again we have all this D in the paint and no one hustles to the man who had time to stop, think about it, adjust, and then watched his follow through as his shot went through...smh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
