What made this dude so good in college? Just the fact that he was so much physically bigger than everyone else?
Boban can teach him the best techniques for sitting at the end of the bench (Sorry for the shade, love ya Boban)
Anyone over 7'2 is a big no no for me this includes Wemby as well. What people are missing is that building a championship caliber team takes about 6-7 years at least. Lebron won his first ring in his 7th season. So realisticly if we ever gonna win it we will win it no earlier than 2027. So what this means is that these kids will have to build a chemistry to get there. I don't want anyone on this team that is 1 bad landing away from missing an entire season, and never reaching to his potential. He would leave us in the lurch. Do people expect Chet to stay healthy? No shot that chopstick is cooked and so did OKC for drafting him.
I see where you coming from but it wouldn't hurt to have a super size big on the roster to matchup with some of the bigs like Adams/Valacunias etc in spot minutes here and there Even LeBron had Big Z as starter in I think his first Finals trip in 07', and Big Z was over 7ft If he could be had in the 2nd or in undrafted field might as well take a flyer on him, unless they draft a Lively or trade for a big already in the league then pass
I'm surprised to hear this sentiment from a fan of a team who drafted two super tall centers #1 overall only to see injuries destroy their careers before they reached their potential. Anything 7'1" or above is asking for a career of pain.
Well I wouldn't draft him to be a foundational piece, but seeing the biggest weakness outside of head coach past years was size and 3pt shooting, with now PG seems to have overtaken the previous two Injuries have derailed short, medium and tall players, or even some for political beliefs (Chris Jackson) Sports is a gamble, you win some and lose most times since only 1 out of 30+ teams wins the ship annually, as the rest of the league just learned again as ones of the two remaining in Finals will keep that trend going From Grant Hill to Jay Will and so on injuries have snake bitten all positions, though I don't disagree on how Footers have more going against them on that end
