I disagree a bit on the way the two drop back on PnR coverage. The gap is bigger with JV, and he doesn't have the ability to contest in the mid range like Ibaka does. Neither guy is fantastic but JV seemingly seems to always gets exposed on those plays where as Ibaka seems to hold his own a bit better.
They do have to play slower on offence when they run plays for JV though. His post moves are old school. Lots of pumps, and backing defenders down. He's super effective though so a good weapon to have. And when they aren't running a play for him he's on the perimeter and Rap's are playing 4 on 5. JV has to start taking those open 3's without hesitation and hit them. They were dating him all night to take it.
It was OG's first game back so a bit of miscommunication in the first half. But I have to say for at least this one game I thought Serge at C was not a bad look at all. Other than a few rebounds he let get away from him I thought he was solid on D.
