Regardless of the offense, he’ll need to figure out how to control the paint and the boards on the defensive end, like a center must, to be a cornerstone player.
I totally agree he has to play better. As for rebounds, I think in this case it was more of a defensive scheme error. Utah was 2 on 1 in the PnR all the time. You can't box out Gobert if you are helping on the guard. When Mavs play PnR, it is always 2 on 2 as third defender (Gobert) helps in the paint.
