The whole start Gafford thing never made sense for me, it didn’t last year and it has been a lot worse this season.
Via nba.com:
Luka + Klay + PJ + Kyrie
1) with Gafford at C:
ORtg 108,5
DTg 120
NetRtg -11,5
2) with Lively at C:
ORtg 115,9
DRtg 111,5
Net +4,4
Unfortunately for whatever dumb reason the Gafford-lineup has played almost twice as many minutes together than the lineups with Lively at the five.
Once PJ is back that’s the first change I’d implement.
I think Klay is one of the few bright spots on the team so far. Defense has been better than advertised and he's still a lethal shooter.
The real issue is that we're missing Lively and PJ. Gafford is just not cutting it right now. He's just always out of position and making dumb mistakes.
