He’s gonna be an anchor defensively one day.

He had a nice finger roll and just hit a 3.

I was one of the only ones defending the Paul George trade on the Pacers' side.

Suns should have TJ watch tape on Bernard King.

Dragan Bender might be something

Like I said before Bender is probably going to be the future PF. The way he plays defense is already good for a young player and he doesn't bite on pump fakes. He is good at affecting opposing players shots.

Chriss has the athleticism but he is really bad at rebounding and defense.

TJ comes out of nowhere with those put back shots. Even though he didn't shoot well most of the game he came up huge in the 4th quarter.

If he can just achieve a frame like Ibaka he'll be set for a long career. Mentally, he sees the game extremely well. But smart young centers get put to pasture every year

You can't achieve a frame though. You got it or you don't. I was 175lbs 6'4 in high school, but wide shoulders and large bones. 11 years later I'm 240 and look like a TE.

Porzingis v. Celtics - 3 out of 14, 12 points
Embiid v. Celtics - 4 out of 16, 11 points
LMA v. Celtics - 5 out of 13, 11 points

And that can largely be attributed to his efforts. His help defense all over the floor has been incredible too. I think what's helped him out most, is that Boston's starting lineup is A LOT bigger and longer this season, and the holes are more manageable to cover.

Interestingly, I said in this very thread that the Celtics losing Bradley & Crowder defensively will be offset by them not having Isaiah and gaining size, but was told that Kyrie was just as, if not a bigger defensive liability
