But then when the playoffs start and other players have found that other gear, he is less impactful because that is the level he has been playing at all along.

Yeah, I believe Bingo mentioned that in the podcast. I totally agree he isn't as impactful as people want him to, but he is far from an anchor on the back end. He still plays a lot of hard minutes. If the Andersson-Hanifin pairing can make the jump to the first pairing, it could benefit Gio.
