As a center, Ralph was certainly a “stick” in the NBA and yes, he drove Fitch crazy, but I give Fitch credit for moving Sampson to the 4. It was an obvious move, but not at all where he was used to playing and I have to give Ralph credit for being not only willing to play there, but embracing the role. As for Wembanyama being nearly 240, and Ralph playing in the league at 220-230, show me an image of Wemby where he looks anything like this. We may have both underestimated Sampson’s playing weight, or Wemby’s is called more than it really is, in my opinion.
I don't think it's as hard as people think. It's already happened 3 times this playoffs (Suns, 76ers, Nuggets) and seems to happen regularly every year.
