Yeah, I may have painted with too broad of a brush there. I'm not saying Shaq's presence was the "advent" of importance of having good bigs. But I feel like he was the driver of the "when in doubt, go big" draft mantra in the 2000's where teams just knew that if you didn't have a big athletic...

Your boy Shaq is criminally underrated in the GOAT conversation. Just like Steph ushered in the "small-ball" era, Shaq ushered in the "big man" era. All due respect to Kobe but the reason the early 2000's Lakers were a dynasty was the big guy.

So many thoughts here. I’m cool with the purple but don’t dig the mountain. We have a big *** note at mid court as we should. Why we don’t have the note on every jersey I’ll never understand. It’s the “it factor” for us. Also it feels like we change jersey schemes more than any team in the...

Considering the Wiggins / Embiid class that is high praise. I'm guessing BYU would make the same claim about AJ but it doesn't hit quite as hard...

Hope you're right. That'd be awesome.

What a banger of a question. I guess I'll go with my all-time favorites in a "timeless" sense. You Get What You Give - New Radicals I Wanna Know - Joe All Eyez on Me - Tupac (the song) Big Ego's - Dr. Dre Springsteen - Eric Church

Pretty sad. Gun to my head, I probably would've taken him ~4-6 last season and felt nauseous about it. Just an atrocious draft.

I dunno, I personally think Harper was a pretty clear #2. 6'4"+ without shoes, 6'10" wingspan, can playmake for others and create his own offense, etc. Maybe a lower ceiling than Ace or VJ, but still pretty high, and (IMO) a higher floor. I think SAS got it right but we'll see.

Just get the best players. In no world should we pass on Dybantsa or Boozer if they're the superior prospect because they're duplicative with Ace, don't offer a lot of playmaking, etc. That said I'm high on DP. I think there's a really good chance he goes #2 next season. Just don't see anyone...

Yeah I agree here. I think he's reaching (a tad) and just trying to find content to talk about to some extent.

That or it's to take on a really crappy contract in exchange for more draft capital.

Pretty sure I agree with this completely. Hoping WCJ is ahead of Keyonte in six months time.

Agree on Collier. Not sure on Walt. But if WCJ comes off the bench in ~2026-2028 that's exciting since it means we probably have a PG who can really go.

Measured and respectable. For myself, my man crush won’t allow it.
