    There is only 1 player that could shoot a total of 63 threes his first 8 years in the league and his 9th year MAKE 104 of them.
    Marc Gasol has so much talent it is ridiculous. Oh, the whole idea that Draymond can guard Marc was a fallacy. Marc routinely punishes Draymond in the post, as do a lot of other players.

    Marc is a half court savant similar to arvydas sabonis. There is a reason the grizzlies (at least before this year coming up) that the grizzlies gave Golden State fits. You want to talk about going small, well the warriors can't handle the grizzlies going big either. The grizzlies are the one team that can slow the game down and still be effedctive and win games against the warriors, not too many teams can do that.

    You mean the Marc Gasol that couldn't score about 6'4" Draymond Green in 2014-2015 Playoff after the Grizz went up 2 to 1 against the Warriors and they put Bogut on Tony Allen and Draymond on Gasol?

    Draymond is a great defensive player no doubt , but it's mind boggling how much he gets away with .

    If the day ever comes where he's not on the media's favorite team , then I think we will see his defensive reputation take a hit.

    He's great at guarding bigger guys specifically because he is allowed to be exceptionally physical with them , and they aren't allowed to reciprocate.

    That being said , right now my money for best center goes to Gobert . He's young so I'm expecting improvement for next season , and he's defensively in a class of his own already

    I don't think he is yet, but embiid will be soon I've heard volleyball was his main sport till he was like 18. Reminds me of the dream with soccer. He can only hope to be half as good as Hakeem, but has the potential to dominate the center position.
