No, but the Lakers are about to blame him, which is the point.
I also disagree that this is off topic. I think if we're talking about Gobert, this pretty much IS the topic. Don't get me wrong - I don't disagree with your take on how he could be used positively, it's just that our experience with Porzingis really should serve as some type of warning about how easily it could go wrong.
I know we're all wanting more of a defensive presence in the paint, but with the way these guards shoot nowadays, giving them clean looks off of screens after two dribbles and not even forcing them to make a single pass is more just as bad as having no resistance inside (which I feel is an overstatement of the Mavs' current weakness).
