SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: OFFENSIVE-MINDED PIVOT
Marcin Gortat (aka the ‘Polish Hammer’) is like a rock – Gortat does (just about) everything well, including securing boards, defending his position & knocking down shots; good scorer – hitting open Js, to about 18 feet, is a cinch (can he expand to three-point land?), as well as finishing soft hooks using either hand (actually, Gortat is probably better using his left – he lofts it after a couple fakes & it’s usually cash); not a great rim protector, defensive worth (primarily) comes from taking charges/sacrificing body; sets strong screens, helps create lanes for ball-handlers; good for around 10 & 8 every night; traded to LAC (Summer '18) – veteran scorer/rotational big for Doc Rivers
