Will Burks and Kanter get contract extensions?

Beal has a bigger frame and more bulk/strength. Alec weighs more because of his length (if he actually weighs more).

Just to give you an idea, at their respective pre-draft combines, Alec had a standing reach of 8'7.5'', weighed 193 lbs, and did 5 bench press reps. Beal had a standing reach of 8'4'', weighed 202, and did 8 bench press reps.

It's comical that people think if Thibodeau coached this team last season, that they'd be 30th in the league defensively.

bigger 'frame'? Are we talking width, or length? In this case, your use of 'frame' is pretty ambiguous.

stocky maybe?

No one said anything like that.

in this thread, no-- but I've encountered this sentiment elsewhere.

Can someone explain to me wtf we didn't re-sign Demarre Carroll?

Width. This is pretty common terminology. Beal has the frame to carry more weight/muscle.

Good word to use

So Charles Barkley has a bigger frame than Dikeme Mutombo.



Personally, I find that pretty odd to say out loud. Also, terminology used like that isn't really common around my parts.

Yeah honestly there is 30 different ways to describe this more aptly. GVC is just being difficult probably to struggle for some sort of moral victory or something.

Jesus. My initial point was that Gordo-Alec are physically overmatched as starters at the 2 and 3.


I even explained what I meant before you and fish questioned it:

He doesn't have the frame to carry the bulk needed to defend physical wing players. Look at how solidly built Bradley Beal is. Yes, they're around the same weight, but that's largely a function of Alec's height and length.

Guessing you didn't read that. Par for the course.


And, again, frame size is a well understood concept. Go ahead and google it.
