Just because he played 5 in college doesn't mean he can't play 4 in the NBA.Didn’t Spellman play the 5 in college? But now he’s gonna play the 4 in the quicker NBA?
For a guy with potential weight and conditioning issues, that raises a lot of concerns for me.
Serious players tend to have more weight and conditioning issues before they hit the pros. From every single thing I've read, he is a serious, winning player.
At some point, you gotta decide you want to set yourself apart in a copycat league. I think a pairing with Gobert (and him as the backup 5) could challenge the conventional big/small lineup paradigm. And if all he does is give you spacing and muscle as a backup 5, that would be sick.
