whos the better defender at the 5

Does it matter when he’ll be on the bench to end games

He may only be there the 1 year too. He’s just a place holder until Chet gets strong enough to not get pushed around. Next summer he’s a big expiring.

kind of a wash. hartenstein was solid at defense in the regular season but embiid and myles turner punked him all postseason. at least kat has elite offense to balance that

his offense doesn’t outweigh his negatives on defense at the 5 tho

but hartenstein's does? kat's the better overall player

KAT was benched a bunch of times in the playoffs too to end games

hartenstein was solid on defense for us until he fked up his Achilles again

Wouldn’t be surprised if by midseason, his minutes get cut. OKC ran small ball all last year and will do it this year too. SGA/Caruso/Dort/JDub/Chet is going to be their main lineup.

We don’t let facts get in the way of narratives

KAT was benched a bunch of times in the playoffs too to end games

So did Gobert.

Going after Mitch/sham and KAT in one shot. Diabolical

scorekeeper was very generous on assists. he had like 4 that were just dribble handoffs where his man then made their own move and scored.

Tbh I mainly just wanted to annoy sham this morning. I’m not that big of an I hart fan. But he was solid for us when Mitch was injured

For years, we’ve seen Gobert get taken out once teams started playing small/5 out in the playoffs and he couldn’t keep up or provide enough offense to justify him being out there.

But that’s not my point. KAT will be in our closing lineups. iHart is going to be on the bench for closing lineups in OKC.

My point is that KAT gets benched a bunch of times too. We can’t say for certain he’s gonna be out there. same thing for ihart. Have to wait and see.

If Randle didn’t get benched under Thibs, neither is KAT. And our situation isn’t like OKC where they have a better option at the 5 over iHart. Can wait and see.

Thibs benched Obi a lot whose defense is very similar to KAT’s. Let’s see what happens.
