DeMarcus Cousins on Rudy Gobert: You can’t have a potential 4x Defensive Player of the Year who doesn’t finish games. I’m by no means going to be okay with this. I see issues in black and white. When you’re the most effective defender on the most effective defensive staff, you must by no means be off the ground. There ought to by no means be a state of affairs the place you’re not in a position to match into the scheme. That doesn’t make sense. How will we maintain awarding this man who can’t even keep on the ground within the playoffs? That is mind-blowing to me.

“The game before that [on March 7, 2023], he had 39 [points], seven [rebounds] and four [assists]. Then he had a game [on March 3, 2021] where he had 40 [points], 19 [rebounds] and three [assists]. If you look at him versus Anthony Davis, this year [on Nov. 27, 2023] he had a 30-point triple double against him and didn’t play in the fourth quarter [30 points, 11 assists, 11 rebounds]. He had 38 [points], 12 [rebounds] and 5 [assists] the sport earlier than that [on Dec. 9. 2022]. Joel loves taking part in the most effective massive guys on the planet. Any time he’s wholesome sufficient to play in opposition to them, he’s going to be on the market.” -via SportsKeeda / April 16, 2024
What do you consider the criticism that Joel Embiid has been ducking [Nikola] Jokic in previous few seasons? Drew Hanlen: “We simply form of chortle about it. He’s performed Jokic two occasions within the final two years and he had 47 [points], 18 [rebounds] and 5 [assists on Jan. 28, 2023. On Jan. 16, 2024], he had 41 [points], 10 [assists] and 7 [rebounds]. I don’t know why you would duck somebody that you’re averaging 45, 13 and eight against. When you take a look at Joel versus different massive guys, he’s simply dominated them. He had 70 in opposition to Victor [Wembanyama]. You take a look at him versus Rudy Gobert. I don’t know his actual numbers, however he had round 51 [points], 12 [rebounds], and three [assists] on Dec. 20, 2023.” -via SportsKeeda / April 16, 2024
