I think he's been great. Better rebounding, passing, and shooting.
Dude was a top 3 reason we won that houston series.
He has been great, but he's still overpaid for today's NBA that doesn't permit to play two traditional bigs when things really matter.
He's been playing up to his contract, but it wasn't a great deal to give him money for three more years in any event. Even if they have given him a new $35M/2 contract, it would have been okay.

I always thought he was great. Such a smart player.
He's looked a lot more comfortable as of late out there. Actually being a bit more aggressive. Just knows how he fits better I would think. The talent was always there and I don't think the problem was ever that he looked washed up overnight.
No doubt he's performing right now. Regardless, the contract still sucks and there are still questions about how much gas he'll have left when the playoffs come around.
so so good. PATFO should preemptively either 1) extend his contract or 2) pay him more on the current one
It was against the Mavs chill.
Have to side with you on this one.
But hey, it's fun to talk smack and enjoy a great game from him.
Not concerned. Similar to Duncan, he's the archetype who generally ages best (so is Aldridge) and can sustain for longer periods, too. I realize he struggled in the playoffs last season, but I don't think it was fatigue related. Sometimes, players just struggle for no rhyme or reason. 3-point shooting in particular, he was due for regression to the mean.
His arrogance and sometimes lazy/soft play can be overbearing at times, but he also hasn't gotten enough credit for the level he's still playing at.
True, but it's still a luxury to possess the capability of having at least one center sized big with the ability of Aldridge and Gasol on the floor for ever meaningful minute.
Went back and re watched some of those games recently, he was an underrated part, certainly. He shut down in the paint.
More DNPs, then. Easy problem to solve, tbh.
I'm waiting for the playoffs, idk where the others are.
He missed around 20 games last year and still ran out of gas.
I don't remember that, tbh. He sucked vs. the Warriors like everyone not named Kawhi.
Anyone that understands the game of basketball remembers.
He’s playing great so far - on both ends (at least to his potential on defense). The question becomes can he keep this up for years and more importantly can he be effective in the playoffs or will teams going small and game planning render him useless more or less?
But as far as the regular season goes he’s definitley doing his part to help SA win games. His elite 3PT shooting last year was great and his overall game has been great this year. I’m most pleased with his contested rebounding. That has been an issue with him and hes done well in that department to start the year.
Great to see Pau doing so well. His overall skillset and IQ is probably top 10 in the league. It’s also sad to see how much of a 3-point chucking league it has become. Duncan, Pau, there’s literally no current big that have close to the post games they had in their primes.
He's averaging 11.8 ppg and making like $16 million
If he had a more reasonable salary I would be happy with him
I find it difficult to complain at all about Pau lately, he's shooting and playing a lot better than Patty so...
Also, I can't stand Lauvergne. What he showed in preseason is not his regular season version. Every time Joff comes in, the team looks disjointed. Maybe he will get better but I am not hopeful.
