We're going to get destroyed in 2016 Olympics if one of these centers don't pan out soon, the NBA is moving towards having 5 guards on the court.

:whoa:

lets not completely ignore the injuries here

:huhldup: Especially with what Pau did to Team USA in last year's Olympics. He completely and utterly dominated the USA squad. He was unstoppable in the post in that game.

Imagine if we had to go into the Olympics with JaVale McGee or DeAndre Jordan as our starting centers :scusthov:



Andre Drummond is our only hope right now.

They lucky, plus Mark Gasol had like 4 fouls in the 1st half, so he barely played in the Gold medal game. Drummond is the only hope really now for USA. There are still some very good pick men like Cousins, Favors, Monroe, but I don't see superstar talent in them though. Drummond has scary potential. Another one I been keeping my eye on is that Valanciunas kid from Toronto. He stands out and he might have the best hands for a young center in the game and has very good touch around the rim too, just needs to bulk up and get stronger, and his defense is nice too. And let's not forget about Dwight too in 2016 :troll: I could only imagine the fukkery if Bynum would have decided to play with team USA in 2012. :pachaha:

There are other good young bigs, but Drummond currently seems like the only American center that could have a big impact on both sides of the ball. Cousins/Monroe won't be good enough defensively, and Favors won't be good enough offensively, where as Drummond could have a major impact on both sides.

Jonas will be playing for Lithuania :sadcam: and yeah, he has a ton of potential. He's much better offensively than most people thought.

Jonas V has played to my expectations. Once he learns defense without fouling, it's over.


If Spain's still the top rival in 2016, Ibaka /Biyombo will be tough to score against.

He does need to hit the weights though, dude stays getting injured, and it's the type of injuries that come from physical play, something more muscle mass would cut down on.
