I wonder why "gritty" players like Jordan Goodwin get paid significantly less than guys that have such a limited skill set outside of being really good 3 point shooters. Oh that's right, the GM's overvalue that one skill set. Sorry. I apologize
This is for you @fdlbasketball . We both appreciate low post monsters.
4-point range. Being out here is so much better on the mind than having ridiculous conversations on here.
We have to keep on educating the uneducated. A quick reminder if he was in the NBA today nobody else: Wins a rebounding title Wins the DPOY Award Leads the NBA in blocked shots Generational is nothing like Once In A Lifetime. MF Wilt!
Random Take: A smart coach would build on last season and increase the usage and touches for Zubac
On any level, the talented low post player draws a lot of attention
Jerry West said Wilt carried the Lakers to the 1972 NBA championship. This article from the Los Angeles Times highlights the incredible defensive performance by a 35-year old Wilt against Kareem in the Western Conference finals.
Random Advice: If you do preseason NBA player rankings you would be wise to have Zubac ranked higher than KAT. And it's an easy call
"Ridiculous motor and timing" That's a quote on Jordan Goodwin's rebounding from someone who saw him play in high school
Happy Monday! More GOAT debates More lists More incessant MJ, LeBron, Kobe, Duncan, TMac talk It's amazing the children here don't get tired of it Oh well
Career Rebounds Per 100 Possessions Jordan Goodwin 10.3 That's damn impressive for a 6-3 guard
Harden DJJ Kawhi Collins Zubac These would be my starters if I was coaching the Clippers
Just a normal day at the office for The Doctor @JuliusErving. One dribble from the foul line and he explodes for the dunk. You don’t see anybody in the game do this today and nobody puts on a show like Doc.
Three hours plus of pick up ball in New York City. Time to call it a night.
What a Surprise we’re on defense and a shot goes up and the guy doesn’t box out his man from the perimeter and he just sneaks in for the offensive rebound and layup
