Gobert...

Favors should be higher on that list
 
This brings up an interesting question. What gives us a better chance of winning games, better D and worse O with Gobert or better O and worse D with Kanter? I go with the former.
 
Gobert needs to play more minutes, I really do think he could be a star in this league. I think he's proven over the last couple games that he can be good on offense as long as his teammates open up space for him under the rim. He's the only player besides Hayward that's shown he has a winners mentality on the court.

Also depends on the other players in the lineup. When Gobert is in the game with Exum, Ingles and Booker...that's four non-shooters.

**** you.

I contribute plenty.

Ask a detailed question get a detailed answer.

One can't ask which of offense or defense is more important without establishing some baselines.
 
our defensive efficiency sky rockets when rudy is in

but out offense starts to suffer because of it. I think they need to find a good balance.

I love rudy. I hope he keeps this up and next year could be a starter...

seeing as how the "value" metrics (VORP, WinShare/48, BPM) point heavily toward gobert, I would go with the former as well

I'd go defense.

Not like Favors or Kanter or offensive juggers. Srs.

Burke also has that mentality.

Assuming the pace wouldn't be affected, a bit simplified, but to a huge extent it would depend on (how good is your good defense + how bad is your bad offense) vs (how good is your good offense + how bad is your bad defense).

Offensive efficiency - Defensive efficiency=Overall performance.

Whatever lineup gives you the better number out of that equation will usually be better at winning games. Right now the team is at ORtg=106.1, which is average for the league and our DRtg=112.1, which is 29th in the league.

If we get DRtg to 106(average for the league), and our ORtg drops to say 102, we can expect slight improvement. If ORtg drops to say 94 we can expect to be doing even worse than we are doing right now, which are the precise stats for the 76ers - DRtg=106 and ORtg=93.5)... so yah... I don't know if that was good enough answer...
 
I'm not ready for them to make the move yet, or to really start messing with the lineup. . . but by the end of the year I'd like to see them start the game with Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Burks and Exum. Then bring Kanter, Booker, Hood and Burke in off the bench. Curious to see how that lineup would play together.
