IMO we are overthinking and should grab him if available.My concerns on Kessler are shooting. His form looks really weird and I am not sure if he will ever be a threat with his shot. I saw some Video of Koloko and his shot mechanics looked good for me and would Like to see more of him shooting. I don’t think Kessler has it in him, I dont think.
I understand the concerns of switching on the perimeter. Even Rudy can’t keep up in the playoffs. I understand all that. However we can’t get too caught up with GS to ignore that players like Jokic, Embiid, KAT are doing very well. Stephen Adam and Valuncianis are a handful too. Heck even Zubac is a handful. The Mavs got killed by Looney.
Luka’s body is not suited for a run and gun game. I don’t see him also ever being open to a motion offense where he has to move a lot without the ball. The Mavs need to play half court type offense with some wings who can shoot. Maybe a traditional big does hamper us as we go deep. However a traditional big defender will help a lot in the regular season. It will also help in defensive matchups where bigs are still dominating today.

Second I thought he rebounded better. He had some games during the season where he had monster rebound games but only averaged 8 per game. I would like to get a better understanding there.
His last game of the season was really bad. He had difficulty guarding all the quick Miami players. You can mark it up to a bad game and that happens. It is just a poor last view of him after a great year.
His shot blocking form is awesome though. He may have difficulty guarding guards kn switches but he is definitely someone the mavs have better be watching last year and studying over the last few months.
