OG doesn't wear all of that because it's a team game. But if OG is heralded as some super amazing defensive player, than the team should have been a lot better then it was.
I think OG is on par with Turner. They are both 3rd or 4th options and are both good defensively. They are also both injury prone.
I just think with Scottie and Pascal on the team, we could use some size so neither have to play the 5. If that's Precious, then I'd like to see some more ball handling and shooting next to Fred at the 2-spot. Gary can shoot, but he's not a playmaker/creator for others. And his defense is also a bit underwhelming at times.
Ultimately I'd be okay with starting Precious, keeping OG and putting him at the 2. Gary would have to come off the bench. But it being a contract year for him, not sure how he'd accept that role. If he's unwilling to move and we as an organization like him too much, then perhaps OG is the guy that has to take the hit. Because neither Scottie, Fred or Pascal are coming off the bench. And we have to stop playing small. It can work in short 10 minute segments intermittently through out the year.. but not all the time.
As for Robert Williams.. his nba.com profile shows him at 6'9. So colored me surprised there. I thought he grew over the summer. He looked like a 7 footer the last time I saw him play on the Celtics.
