KAT is a PF, the sooner they realize that the better they'll be, the masquerade of him playing C needs to end.

You mean a Tim Duncan like PF or a real Don't play him at Center at all PF?

Damn Dieng should be playing Center i assumed he was Better on defense.

KC
Nah, shockingly KAT is played as a C, most of his minutes this year are at the 5. They do some weird shyt between him and Dieng where some nights he'll be the PF, and other nights he'll be the C.

If that's how the minutes break it down that's crazy. No excuse for Gorgui to be the 4

They got KAT down this year with 100% of his minutes at C on basketball-reference :dead: I know he's played some PF this year, but they need to play him at the 4 exclusively, or try him and Payne for some real small ball. Dieng & KAT together just doesn't work and forces KAT to play more outside than he should.

KAT could easily play 5 effectively if he stopped floating around the perimeter.

I don't think he's big enough to guard the paint like that as your C, yeah he can score on C's because of his versatility but he's not that physically imposing. Look at him next to Kristaps -

Dragic is playing well. Is he a trade candidate?

I've heard some rumblings of Riley trying to ship Dragic for another pick. On the flip side, I hope these Wall to Miami rumors have no weight no weight to them. I know some posters in the Heat thread want him, but I think it'd be a short sighted lateral move.

If Pat trades the 2017 pick and Winslow for Wall, then goes out and gives Ibaka 4 yrs/100 mil and signs Korver :scust:

Wall
Tyler
Korver
Ibaka
Whiteside

Treadmill squad on steroids :ahh: :blessed: :snoop:

That Wall to the heat deal wouldn't make any sense they already have Otto and Oubre as prospects at SF...And while Justice is the better prospect he's not the difference between having John Wall..:.

But I've heard about moving Dragic for a pick and just tanking on the low with whiteside

Not disagreeing with you but Kristaps is tall af even for a center. I think the average height for an nba center these days is like 6'11 in shoes. Taps is like 7'3":damn:

Yeah, but the absolute best rim protectors right now are -

Rudy Gobert - 7'1
Kristaps - 7'3
JoJo - 7'2

KAT is way off their marks too, it's just a matter of length and mobility. He's not as tall/long as them, and he doesn't have say Bismack Biyombo length and mobility to make up for it either. He's the same size as Enes Kanter -
