Yeah Doc wouldn’t let his son not be able to flourish in the league and leave him for dead. If anything he will be in Philly. Austin can still contribute off the bench for sure.

The thing is, most bigs who can stretch the floor can’t play a lick of defense when having to go out on the perimeter or even inside
Brook Lopez can guard the post but can’t do anything on a switch inside
Frank The Tank can be passable outside but getting worked inside
Mike Scott getting beat inside and out

I already stopped caring about stats comparing different generations once they changed the shot clock rules. But now with that new Wilson ball, forget about it. Everyone’s shooting % gonna sky rocket.

They changed manufacturers, not the texture of the ball

A big hasn’t been the #1 option on a championship team in a decade

Hence why PHX and MIL ain't winning the chip this year even though their "contenders." They dont have the balance in their depth like the Lakers and Nets do. Mike Scott fortunate he got Embiid and Dwight to mask his weaknesses.
Get it now?
Only LAL, BKN, or PHIL will win the chip this year based on what I'm seeing in the way the rosters are built.

Nope. And he was unstoppable because he seemingly didn’t miss an outside shot the entire time.
him being a versatile big does change things. But let’s not pretend like he was on the block even 50% of the time

brooklyn bigs will have little to do with them winning.

I agree with your premise, I just wouldn’t have listed them considering they aren’t versatile.
Having someone who can generate offense out the post when things outside arent working is a good thing to have. I’m expecting a ton of 3s launched in the playoffs

AD was working that mid post like KD /Dirk/ Carmelo . Wasnt playing like a traditional big he was splashing

Nets crunch time lineup hasn't changed. Myrie/Harden/Harris/KD/Green will more than likely be finishing games for Brooklyn. I supposed Green will be swapped if they go against a legitimate bigs like Giannis/Embiid/Bam.
AD is not a low post guy, but his ability to do so against smallball 5s and pickup cheap fouls make him possibly the league's biggest mismatch. When he isn't be timid that is. He falls in love with jumper way too much for me when he could easily throw guys.

Lmao. So why then did BKN sign Aldridge and Griffin to help out Jordan? So they could look good on paper and in photo shoots? Is Claxton ready (to foul out) against AD or Embiid in the playoffs?
Trust that if Kyrie, Jim, and Kevin had Kevon Looney and Ivica Zubac as their bigs they ain't getting out the East let alone beat the Lakers.
LOL

About a year after the fact, my wife revealed she was not feeling our first kiss. But her gripe was stylistic, not anatomical. I figured it out, apparently.

To be fair, Kevon Looney and Zubac might be better than LMA/DJ/Blake for this Nets team

How do people not have Broswizzle on ignore? 
- 61,783
- 133,861
they are depth pieces but won’t be the reason why they win. You want to give Embiid different looks every second he’s in the game. Your stars aren’t deferring to washed LMA. His best value will be with James in pick and pop.

Looney is awful. Zubac was alright but his hands be shaky.
and zubac wasn’t the difference in the clippers choke job.

His posts albeit big man biased lead to actual discussion. This ain’t like other trolls who post about how much money players makeHow do people not have Broswizzle on ignore?

I get the point ya'll are trying to make but AD is very much still a big, this is really emphasized when you see what he does defensively & on the boards.
He's a big with Range, but still a big man. Dudes tryna make it seem like he's KD or something.
