Sorry guys I was not around yest. to respond to this post. I was not taking a shot at KG's play at Center at all with this post. When I said get a real Center, I meant that as to play along side him. I think he is great at both positions, I just like the floating around KG better then the battling in the post KG on the Def. end. Getting a more Def. PF and leave KG at Center would also work but I liked him at PF better
Defensively, I agree. I like KG being able to be the guy working the pick and rolls on the perimeter, while you have another stout defender down low.
However, offensively, I think KG is MUCH more effective against centers. His post game has all but disappeared, as he no longer has the lift that he used to, or the quickness to compete with the athletic 4s in the league, and can't make the smaller guys pay like he used to in the post. But, when he has a big man on him, he can use that 15 foot jumper (which has become like a layup to him), or take them off the dribble/beat them to the hoop on a pick and roll, because he may not be as quick as the 4s anymore, but he is still quicker than most 5s.
Its a give and take.
This is why it ultimately comes down to talent in my mind. If you put him with real starting talent, whether they are a 4 or a 5, KG is going to have an advantage on at least one end of the floor. But, when you put him with mediocre players, then the other team can just cross match him, forcing him to cover their best scorer, while putting their best defender on him.
