I've heard all of this before. For Marvin Williams

Crazy you say that I seen bigger Marvin Williams as a comp for JJJ, your kind of right shot core strength, that’s what make players like Steph and Kyrie amazing finishers at the basket. I don’t see how people can watch homie play and think he’ll average 20 a game. That’s not the player he is.

There different players. Marvin is more for steals and fast breaks while JJJ is Blocks and rim running but both players are the same gifts and both lack coordination, body control and core strength.

Lol, Marvin had a motor at times. Marvin like JJJ only had it at times. You had to get him involved early, if you didnt he would fade out of the game. JJJ does the same shyt for MSU. If anything, Marvin had more of a motor in college than JJJ did

Marvin also wasn't 6'11 with the ability to block 3 shots in 22 mins lol

I don't think Gobert is all that coordinated nor does he have good core strength but he will get you 14-11-2 in his sleep...JJJ's touch alone will make him more of an offensive threat and add to that his body will fill out...he will be 240 by the time he's 22

And pick up 6 fouls in that same time span.

Gobert has 4 inches on him in terms of wingspan. Even Larry Sanders who I think could be his long term ceiling on defense has 2 inches on him and 4 inches on him in standing reach. You cant be serious? Do you realize what that even means?

Dude, you smoking dro or indo. Chillll....

The NBA is changing because everyone wants to copycat Golden State's death lineup only to realize they're not as good as it and they don't have anything to counteract it. Even the Dubs trot out a traditional starting lineup.
The nba didn't start the small ball trend and the rockets took them to 7 and choked. And even if what you say is true people are still going to imitate it. Almost half the players on these scouting reports that are are considered "undersized"

Porter could be going as high as 2. That would be great for my Hawks.
