I'd definitely prefer addressing his biggest weakness with Gobert rather than asking those wings to cover for a really bad defensive front court. I know Towns looked better this year defensively, but take away Gobert and I'm not sure he's really a different guy. Minny is not the same defensive team at all when Rudy sits.
Could be. I do think this is one of the only situations, though, where you could turn two top 15-20 talents into guys who perform like top 20-40 talents because Zion's offensive efficiency goes down, as does Gobert's, and Gobert has to cover an entire team again like he did in Utah because Zion can't rotate.
But this, of course, goes against my assertion that if you can get a top 15 player you change the system for him
