Noel performance the last 2 games shows you why you don't get rid of players like Mitch and Noel. We have 2 of them! Protecting the paint is key. Because of them we are able to run shooters off the 3 point line.
Pace picks up with Frank because he fills passing lanes. This is why GS is so good defensively even without rim protection. Pace is not always pushing the ball. Miami when they blew the Dallas series and Lebron wanted Riles, and he laid down the law that Sprolestra and his defense first was the calling. 2 chips. Defense has different effects on pace.
Its not a terrible idea to consider moving Mitch but that depends on what’s coming back. Minny if they can get healthy has to give it a go with their lineup before any trades.
