Pretty comparable to the "great game" from Drummond, although Drum outblocked him 4 to 1.HomoSapien wrote:Someone from the general board made the point that KAT and Gobert seem like this elite front-court, but then looked very weak against two actual bigs in Vuc and Drummond, which makes you wonder how these guys would fare against true 90s era bigs.
I couldn't help but think that as well. Vuc and Drummond are sort of throw back in a way (more-so Drummond) and they just rattled Gobert in particular with their size and strength.

I meant weak in terms of strength. They just looked very uncomfortable going up against physicality. This applies to Gobert more, who Drummond seemed to attack as if he was a defensive liability.
Drummond does that to almost every center. One of the reasons he's so good at rebounding is how he's able to move anybody around with ease and get to where he needs to be to grab the ball. You gotta put 2 on him if you want to secure a rebound.
