Bigs that can shoot can score inside and outside but they also spread the defense. Do you play basketball... not trying to be a dick just generally wondering for conversation purposes.
Shaq unskilled? Really?
Shaq was an athletic freak but he was very skilled.
We aren’t asking a big man to “lead” us to a championship. Mitchell is that leader. But if you think our best chances of winning is to trade Gobert and go small then you’re going to be sorely mistaken.
I didn't avoid anything... its perfectly valid comparison... I'd take multiple perimeter prospects. The Hughes pick was solid imo but I would have preferred to take two bites at the apple.
Shaq was incredibly skilled around the basket. + incredibly athletic. (btw he could dribble better than most centers too)
I didn't say that I want to trade Gobert... GTFOH with that. I am saying you need some bigs but unskilled bigs like Udoka ain't helping you get anywhere. Its a waste of the most valuable resource small market teams have to find starter level talent.
Hughes is not an upgrade on the wing. He's a scorer who was the center of his teams offense which will become part of our problem. We need 3D players who are comfortable standing in the corner and do all the muscle work. As things stand Royce remain the only one on this roster who can fill this role.
