A true 5-out offense is extremely rare.
He was super effective against Boston and Phoenix, for example.
I'd argue there are at least 2 teams in this draft which can run a legit 5-out offense. I'm not even counting teams with excelent spacing like db's team with Jokic being a post-up heavy scorer, wack's team with KG lacking 3pt range, Ness' team with Bosh lacking 3pt range in his Raps days and Arvydas being a low-volume 3pt shooter or Snake's team with 2 legit stretch bigs, but Pippen at SF. Highly doubt Gobert can defend anybody on Snake's team despite Pippen's unreliable 3pt shot. The NBA has come a long way since the emergence of analytics. It was only a matter of time before our fantasy games were impacted as well.
Jury's still out on this season, but I distinctively remember Gobert being unusable in the 2021 playoffs against the Clips cause he couldn't defend the corner 3. The Clips starting lineup was Reggie Jackson - Paul George - Kawhi - Batum - Marcus Morris. Zubac started only 1 game and came off the bench in 5 games. The Jazz had the best record in the NBA that season, yet they flamed out in the 2nd round.
Personally, I'm fairly low on drop bigs unless they are offensive goliaths like Jokic, Embiid, Shaq, Wilt or transcendent 2-way players like Timmy. That's just my opinion though. Other posters may view it differently. Gobert is an elite rim protector and a great PnR finisher, no doubt about that.
But there is no one on snakes team that can stop mine.
Oh, now I HOPE I get matched up with you.
Bring it.
