The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Curious as to Brosizzlew30.23 feeling on bigs who play like wings (and are good at it)

Today's modern bigs who are 6'9" and taller need to be able to move their feet and guard wings as well as be able to know how to set solid screens and be solid at running the PNR on offense and be somewhat of a threat to hit outside/open shots if they hope to make an impact on both ends.

The reason Jaxson Hayes will get everyone's attention this year with the Lakers is because he is solid at the above. Folks don't even know he can make threes ntm his abilities on the PNR, lobs, and defending the rim.

But at the end of the day, an impact big still needs to be able to defend the paint, defend on switches, and most imprtantly be good rebounder especially if he isn't much of a threat on the offensive end.

How can you watch people like Nash, Stockton , Kidd, CP3 and Magic play , but consider Steph a point guard ? He barley has 5000 assists

The job of a PG is set up scoring opportunities for yourself and others. Just because it doesn’t look like what they did doesn’t make him less of a PG

By your logic MJ, lebron and Kobe were point guards

 

[CHAOSE57]

Mavs lost to Vinicius and co?

Lebron yes. The other 2 no. Great playmakers for their teams. I mean you can get into semantics but the PGs that won knew when to get 30 or when the team needed 8 assists to win. From all time great scorers like Steph down to guys like Tony Parker and Chauncey.

Mavs lost ? Nba champs not the world champs I guess

I understand why an old guy like George Karl didn't like coaching K Mart, Jr Smith and Melo. However at this point Karl needs to stop bringing it up .
