2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[lawdog1]

Okafor was born 20 years too late

His career is a good illustration of the importance (or lack thereof) of post scoring in today’s NBA because that’s the one thing Okafor is quite good at and no team can seem to find much use for him.

Enes Kanter was gonna be Jahs ceiling in today’s game

Sengun tries on defense though.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Just talkin bout post game

 

[pums]

Sengun in theory is pretty agile and has good hands in comparison to kanter and Jah

 

[pmatic]

Greg Monroe is another post big that washed out. Cost the Sixers vs the Raptors in 2019 because of how putrid he was when Embiid sat.

Which is why he has a chance to actually work in today’s game. He’s the next evolution of that mold

Kanter is an elite rebounder in addition to having the full compliment of post moves and he still can’t stick. So bad to have big men that bad defensively.

So a question I pose is how is Travis kelce so successful? He’s been very good as a post scoring rebounding machine.

I remember that. We would go from up 2 to down 10 in a matter of minutes when Monroe is out and Embiid sits

Dude mashes small bigs and feasted on those Ja dump offs. Plus the best pump fake in the league.

But I agree. Kelce been holding on for the lumbering bigs. Post up bigs won’t ever die. Ayton could have really helped bring it back but they didn’t even try to get him the ball

Going to be interesting to see this year if Jonas can actually compliment Zion or will more often end up getting in his way. I’m leaning toward the latter.

Same issue he had the one year at Arizona

Hopefully Mobley won’t have the same issues to start in CLE

Can’t be any worse for Zion than Adams. Myles turner would be the perfect compliment for Zion

DJ really played like 90% of his career in LA or NYC.

 

[Mister Meaner]

How could I forget one of the most aesthetically pleasing games & my favorite #11

 

[lawdog1]

In all seriousness, what’s the logic for the Lakers signing DJ? Depth/injury insurance? Because he’s basically a homeless tent village Dwight now and the Lakers already have Dwight.

He's just a depth piece. With signing DJ, I'm assuming that Gasol isn't going to be on the roster next year. DJ will likely be behind AD (who is going to play more minutes at center) and Dwight.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Lakers or Nets have a roster spot left?
