    I think Embiid, Jokic, and Wemby are the top 3 centers next year unless one or more of them get hurt for a long stretch.

    I think Sengun will likely be in the next tier somewhere between 4th and 10th best.

    Embiid pretty much guarantees missed time and Wemby has a lot of potential. Jokic is a draft horse though.

    I just want Alperen to be the anchor of a top 10 defense, again.

    He will do his thing on offense.

    Just had a nice chat with Andre Iguodala. Super friendly and smart guy.

    I brought up the Rockets and Alpi...he said... HE'S GOOOD!!! I didn't know he was going to be THIS good.

    He also said we have one of the best coaches in the NBA now.

    I agree.

    Wonder who has a higher scoring game next year and a better record. Wemby or Sengun.

    Wemby will have more blocks.

    Stop trying to make Wemby a center. He doesn't want your life nor his coach. Same for Unibrow. They hate it

    Alpy will average more points, assists, rebounds, have more wins....and Wemby will get the All Star nod.

    Whether they like it or hate it, it’s the only position they play.

    If he plays 75-80 percent of his minutes at PF this year would that make him a PF now? Seems like a difficult spot for a numbers guy lol.

    Yes, your position is the position you play lol. It’s pretty simple. Last 2 years Davis has been around 98-99% center, if that drops to 20% then he’s no longer a center.

    He wasn't the anchor of anything. When he was injured the defense didn't miss a beat

    This is 100% false. They went to the bottom half of the league during that stretch.
    You have no other thoughts than to be intellectually dishonest.
