He's gotten better, but dude was giving Hakeem bread for no cotdamn reason, based on what we were seeing from him in his prime, fam. His game, on both ends, was predicated on his generational athleticism and conditioning for his position.
Nah. Y’all act like he has no skill whatsoever and is an athletic rim runner like DeAndre Jordan. Dwight was putting up over 20 points per game in his prime, some of that definitely came off faceup drives, hook shots, and post moves.


And Dwight was catching ankles this season :hubie:

He benefited from a crop of avg to garbage Centers. The Bynums & Odens never panned out to compete . KAT,Embiid & Jokic are already better.

Breh can easily be a small ball 4 in the league like Draymond.
he could either be freaky athletic draymond


or

taller harold miner on steroids :manny:

Draymond is 3xNBA All Defensive First Team. thats what define him more than any part of his game so I don't understand the comparison.

KAT and Jokic aren't better than prime Howard. They're below average defensively while D12 is one of the greatest defenders. :ufdup:

KAT and Jokic (the best passing big the game I've ever seen) are better offensively but defense definitely matters.

Dray's ball handling and passing also distinguish him. Zion can also handle the ball and pass, and he has the potential to defend multiple positions on the floor with his athleticism. :ufdup:

Dwight had the same two or three moves in his prime, fam. I'm one of the few that defend him but even I was hip to the fact that he underachieved to the heights his pure athleticism could have taken him offensively.

yeah dray is a great passer and ball handler for his size but his defense comes 1st.

it takes more than athleticism to be a good defender in the league

Yeah I added a lil extra hyperbole:manny:

My point being if they played in his prime he wouldn't have looked nearly as good.

If Zion can rebound at all at the college level I'd be shocked :hubie: and dude needs to drop 30-40 lbs or those knees gonna evaporate

He's like Barkley, he's a center who likes to play on the perimeter. He don't have a position. When you that damn athletic, you can get away with it.
Barkley was a power forward and while he could play on the perimeter his bread and butter was in the low post and is where he did most of his damage at.
