Isnt Goga our biggest guy in the roster? If he lacks size... yikes

Jokić has good 40lbs more than Goga.

Well... considering Jokic i think is the heaviest dude in the league even with Zion and Embiid... well.. thats normal

He's listed at 6'10, 250. Jokic and Embiid are pushing 300 I would guess. And they're taller.

Paolo might be a better option for defending Jokić.

Not at all lol

Paolo forcing some bad shots the last few plays, gotta keep giving it up when he doesn’t have something for himself like his pass to the cutting Suggs.

I like that the guys are learning how to play off Paolo and recognise when lanes are opening up!

Need more movement on offense, hard when they are making everything. We have a chance.

Paolo has lower center of gravity than Goga, it is harder to move him out of position.

Jokic has been the best player in the league the last 4 years. He is doing him. There isn’t some magical 1 on 1 defender you add to your team to defend him.

Goga ia only 6'10? Paolo is taller than him?

Observations:

Black with his excellent body control and light feet is really good at pulling the chair out of people in ways they’re not used to from most defenders. Even on that drive the backup guard seemed surprised.

The coaching staff needs to show Paolo how to better establish post position if that’s what he wants to do. He seems kind of lost sometimes in terms of technique.

Eh I wouldn't want Paolo getting all those fouls and having to fight that hard on defense

Man i love ingles, and Paolo is playing well.

From the little bit I’m getting to see on break, we are a different team. And Paolo is getting it.

Yeah, I agree. Could be used situationally when we really need a stop.

Glad to see JI playing. We could use him.

Thats what he's listed at. He is euro so it might be a barefoot 6'10 and 6'11 in shoes.

RichCollab · Post #57 » by **RichCollab** » Thu Nov 23, 2023 12:33 am

We need to make our run now with Jokic on the bench.

Ingles making perfect passes.

Rainwater · Post #59 » by **Rainwater** » Thu Nov 23, 2023 12:33 am

I am trying to figure out how Cole always finds himself guarding someone bigger then himself in the post.

Yeah but I saw one play and Paolo gave no resistance, Jokic is just too big. Don't think we have that player on our roster. Maybe Isaac before it's caught but otherwise he's hard to stop lol
