DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

It's not on Vogel. Davis refused to play center from day 1 since he joined the Lakers

I mean, ok, yes...he said he didn't want to play center. Ultimately, however, isn't it on the coach to convince his team to accept the roles that are necessary and most conducive to winning? I get that some players are more difficult to manage than others.

KP made similar comments when he first got to Dallas, and look how his tune has changed. As soon as Davis realized they couldn't beat Houston without making a change, he was all for it. I'm just saying that I think it's up to a coach to get players to see what you see, even in the player empowerment era. The teaching tactics change over the years, but I think the teaching goals stay the same.

One other thing, who doesn’t KD think is a strong player? 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, not sure. The note I made earlier was regarding comments KD made about Porzingis.

I think playing "center" against the Rockets isn't a thing for AD 'cause he hasn't to defend a center. 
 I also think, when they're playing the nuggets they will try the centers again, so AD can save some Energy  not defending Jokic.

Am I missing something?
