Derrick Favors now with "Dwight Howard-type shoulders"

[NUMBERICA]

Yes, my argument was Bogut's natural size lets him anchor a defense better than a 6'9" or 6'10" guy. You read it wrong or I wrote it poorly.

Or you don't get it. The difference between Bogut and Jeremy Evans isn't how much off the ground their head is from the floor, the difference is Jeremy Evans weighs 80 pounds less than Bogut.

Since we're talking about centers and what makes a good center. Here's some food for thought.

Thanks for posting.

If anything, that article confirmed my belief that Kanter will do just fine at the 5. He's got the height (6'11), the length (9'1.5 standing reach), speed (he really does seem to bounce around the court like a deer), strength (265 lbs and ~6% body fat. And at age 19, already managed to back down the likes of Kaman and Noah.)

As for Favors, I suppose I can see him as a center if he can bulk up to around 260 lbs.

Whether we'll list Kanter or Favors as our starting center 4 years from now, I'm not sure. But I think they'll both be perfectly able to play both post positions. And like the article said, "Players need to complement the other members of a team" and I think Kanter and Favors will compliment each other very well.

Looks like a bright future. How u

I will notice when Favors starts playing like Howard. He's very far from that.

100% .. I feel very confident that we've got one of the best group of young guys in the league.

What about the Clippers?

Eric Gordon, DeAndre Jordon, Aminu, Bledsoe (surly you like him), Blake Griffin?

Yep, they do too, lol.
Gordon, Jordan, and Griffin .. damn.

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.

Gordon, Jordan, and Griffin .. damn.

Plus they have Minnesota's unprotected 2012 pick. That's what makes me say damn...

But we have Golden State's pick, plus our own pick will likely be in the lottery. Hmm...maybe in a few years we'll develop some sort of rivalry with the Clippers...never thought I'd say that.

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.
