Gobert the Blake stopper needs spend summer with Malone, Exum needs to spend summer with stockton

[Saint Cy of JFC]

All I remember from the one summer that they trained with Malone is that Malone complained Gobert wore too much compression clothing and he said Favors needed to develop a go-to move and Favors disagreed.

Players don't always make the best development coaches.

Stock has had success helping guys in the past but I'd rather have Gobert spend time with a strength and conditioning coach and a guy like Johnny Bryant... Guys that do this for a living.

Different players have different strengths... It's hard for someone to project their skills on to someone else. I like what Hiid is doing and think a few of our guys should go that route.

This is true. If anything we should be looking for the guys who coached John and Karl early in their careers, and get them to help out.

Are you sure that was Gobert? I think it might have been Kanter.

Nobody seems to have an answer for Blake. he is too quick and strong for anyone in Spurs & Rockets to handle. I don't think anyone in Memphis can handle him either, he is too quick for Gasol, too strong for Zach. Only team that I think can beat Clippers is Chicago,
Gasol (Pau) and Nova both strong and quick enough.

I'm wondering if Gobert could slow Blake down, If I were Gobert, I would spend the summer with malone.

another thing I noticed is that chris paul seems to be able to go whereveer he wants on the floor, i wonder if Exum can stop him, Deron Williams seemed always match up well against Chris Paul.
Maybe Exum need to spend his summer with stockton.

2 things:
1-Blake might be stronger than Z-Bo But he sure as hell isn't tougher. Blake is kind of a fake tough guy. Z-Bo actually is a tough guy. That means a lot.
2- GSW will likely advance to the 3rd round. Sounds like you are writing the Dubs off but remember man, this is one of the all time great teams as far as point differential in the regular season goes.

Favors matches Blake pretty well imo.

Also I seem to remember Milsap getting the best of Blake most matchups.

Interesting to see someone else from Hong Kong on this board. Are you 張國榮 raised from the dead? :O

Eaton was great, but I don't see what he has to teach Gobert. He played an entirely different sort of game. Eaton was a big imovable object on defense with his arms straight up in the air. He was lumbering and slow. On offense he usually stood outside the three point line trying to get an illegal D (which doesn't even exist anymore) called on the other team. You might think that Gobert's offense needs work but it's already more advanced than Eaton's ever was.

Blake was a relatively inexperienced player with a low skill level for a lot of the times that he played a Jazz team with Millsap. Blake is now way better than Millsap has ever been and will be.

Really doesn't have anything to do with the OP, just wanted to say that.

Also, yeah, these Jazz players should just work out with whomever is best for their development as people and players.

And Karl Malone's impressive history as a basketball player probably speaks more on his résumé as a student than as a teacher tbh.

Imho Horny has been the best as a development coach after QS. I have more faith in Eaton making Gobert even better at D than Stock and esp Malone at helping the guys.

I'm really good at what I do, but I suck at teaching other people how to do it. Sometimes that's just the way it goes.

I agree with everything you say except that I don't see any reason for confidence that Eaton would be a good development coach. He did not have the ability to play the way Gobert does, so how would he teach him how to do it better? Eaton's game was completely different than Gobert's.

I like how these "spend the summer with..." threads make it sound like you can just download new skills from a hard drive.

Also, Deron was a good matchup with CP3 so Exum should spend the summer with Stockton. Obviously.
