    I thought that Gobert trade was awful, but it seems to be working out pretty well.

    I was wrong too, turns out giving him better point of attack defenders around him actually DID fix all his problems.

    I felt the same way. And maybe it still would have been horrible if Ant hadn't made the huge leap he's made this year.

    Bingo. Having a top 10 guy suddenly changes everything.

    And maybe as a playoff performer top 5 right now? Or is there anyone better in the playoffs this year?

    29, 6, 6, shooting 50% FG and 40% from 3 in the face of whatever other teams throw at him. + defender.

    He does not play huge minutes, he does not demand many attempts.

    He is a role player, isn't paid like one but he is essentially overpaid luxury but a good luxury to have.
