No it wouldn't, because he would be somewhere near three point line guarding George or Kawhi after a switch. Unless of course you prefer open shot for one of those guys.
At any point in this game was Boban anywhere near the 3pt line when he was in? No. No matter what he was around the basket getting rebounds and clogging up the paint. It was working, until Rick never went back to it.

Those guys or some other players are getting whatever they want on you anyway, with or without Boban.
I agree that is the concern about defense such as PnR switching etc. that leads Carlisle to this sort of lunacy. I call it coaching lunacy, ignoring the fact this same Boban destroyed the Clippers offensively and on the boards in the last game before season suspension.
So you're worried about matching up on defense, but your defense is horrible anyway?
Every team is scoring like crazy on you. What do you have to lose? You lose to clipper by 25 instead of 15?
I don't think you do but even if you did, so what? You're not competitive right now playing the way you are, so keep doing the same thing?
By trying to matchup with teams like the Clippers and most of the other top teams, you're losing the matchups anyway after Doncic and KP.
The point of not only playing bus USING Boban on offense more is making the other team's defense have to match up.
Right now your defensive strategy
is giving some guys like Zubac a leisurely stroll to 21 pts and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes while shooting, get this, 100% from the field!!! 
Good thing they benched Bobi for that better defense.
Locking the Clippers to down to 126 is at least something to feel good about moving forward.
