I mentioned at the start of last season that the Raptors had a 1-3/-5 that was going to be the best defensive unit we've seen for a very long time, but a lineup of:

Ben
J-Rich
Thybulle
Horford
Embiid

might be even better.

:damn:

What they lack in experience, they'll make up for in length and ability.

Ben: 7-ft wingspan
J-Rich: 6-11 wingspan
Thybulle: 7-ft wingspan
Horford: 7-1 wingspan
Embiid: 7-5 wingspan

The width of the court is 50-ft, and these muh'fukkas collective wingspan occupies 35+ft of it - they only have to move one step to cover the entire width.

:damn:

This dude is so corny. He clearly waits till dudes aren’t looking at him to get left hanging on purpose So he can post videos. How are you gonna be playing in an nba game and have part of your focus be on that?

If by "all together" you mean 15/6/3 on good %s and solid defense then I'd go for it :ehh:
Nah, nothing that's in the box score (he actually averaged 17 ppg on good efficiency after he got traded last season, so if you were to look at it like that, 15 ppg would be a step backwards). I'm just simply speaking about having the platform where he's free to let his skillset lose, so he can be a dominant player, not restricted to fulfilling a couple of roles like he was in D.C.

Oubre had a nice thang going at the back end of last season when he got traded; I wonder if this is the season where he's going to put it all together.
I was high on him in the draft. He took longer to come along than I expected. I figured it would take at least two seasons but it took longer.
