Derrick Favors now with "Dwight Howard-type shoulders"
- Thread starter Zerol
- Start date
Everything about this is 100% correct. Including the part that says Clippers. If it was any other team in the league I would say there young core could develop into a championship caliber team. But its the Clippers so they wont.

Thank you captain obvious. I'll have to write that down. Perhaps that is what I meant by natural size giving a player an advantage. I don't know if I can take this forum much longer, the average intelligence here is on par with a small prairie animal.

Personally I am not that high on DeAndre Jordan. He got all the tools but his brain is like Samuel Dalembert's. Solid defensive center with low basketball IQ, will be regarded as an overpaid player whom his team will try to unload but can't.
They would have been a truly promising young team if they landed Irving. Too bad.

Favors did play like Howard in his rookie season. Not fair if you are comparing Favors to the current version of Howard.
Okay, I'm late to the party and have no dog in the fight, but THAT was pretty funny.
Who cares if he looks exactly like Dwight. The point is he is getting stronger, and building mass.
The kid is a hard worker, and looks like he willing to put in the time to get better.
This is great news for us.

You callin' PKM surly?
Look, I don't know what argument you were TRYING to make, but this is the argument you've been making. TALL = important.

Nope. Though I rarely use BOLD in my posts, this one was called for and cleverly used to make my point. What was funny was one poster calling another poster "captain obvious" and then proceeding, in the next sentence, to state, "Perhaps that is what I meant by natural size giving a player an advantage."
It's okay if no one else finds that funny, but I did.

The original argument was the importance of standing reach for a center, not height or weight related. I mentioned Bogut's natural height in addition to his standing reach gave him an advantage over Kanter as a center. The words were then misconstrued by GVC that I thought Evans could be a center, and piggybacked off of by Numberica. But the point is, Numberica, you don't have to butt into every conversation halfway in. There is no award to being the first one with 10K posts.

No they weren't.
You said:
How was I supposed to understand this? If Evans or AK were their same height AND weighed 280, they could potentially be very good centers (if they do indeed have 9'+ standing reaches). You probably shouldn't call other people stupid when you've clearly demonstrated in this thread that you're far from a ****ing genius.

In other words:
1. You're the only one allowed to insult others' intelligence.
2. Everyone should just politely nod when you post something ridiculous.
I feel sorry for any man/woman who has to put up with your **** on a daily basis.

That is exactly what I meant by natural size advantage. If AK was 7 ft, logic dictates he would weigh a lot more, probably enough to play center. There is a direct correlation between height and weight. Apparently a couple of our esteemed members here can't draw logical conclusions so will be more careful in the future.

Too bad for Ben Wallace...he'll never make it as an NBA center.
That is, Bogut's weight advantage over Evans and AK has much more to do with his frame than his height. If AK were an inch or two taller, he'd still be a thin gangly dude, ill-suited to play the 5.
