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.
FOR SURE. Gobert/whoever constantly looked like Powell/Luka last year.
I think it's so ironic that the Mavs brought in a Utah coach so as to better emulate them on the defensive side of the ball, yet the noticeable change from last year was how much Utah has improved at what made the Mavs successful last season.
Shooting is IMPORTANT.
