There are a lot of opportunities for offensive rebounds and put backs in an All Star game. With Drummond out of the game, it was the biggest factor in Team Chuck's favor IMO.

He was on the wrong team this year but I meant in last years game when he put up 20. He led the team in scoring I believe and was clearly one of the better finishers.

I know, but it was much of the same last year as well. Hustling rebounds and getting put back dunks doesn't wow the crowd, but it certainly helps win games.

Only other player I'm worried about from that draft is Kanter, dude's spectacular talent, only guy I'd rather have over Tristan.

He would be a better fit with Zeller on the floor than with Andy. The thing I notice most about TT is how he continually mishandles the ball, whether on rebounds, loose balls or even going up with a shot.
Does he have small hands? I dont recall from the draft if it was noted that he had small hands or not. He gets off the floor quickly even on his second jump, maybe that is what Grant saw in him, along with a good motor and a willingness to work. But he doesnt seem to know what to do with the ball, whether to use pump fakes, pivot away from pressure or when to drop step to an open area to get away from pressure. I wonder if he ever even thinks about passing out to the wing when he gets in trouble down low. All this would seem to indicate a low bball IQ, at least offensively.


Val is doing just fine. A legit 7 foot center who rebounds and protects the paint.

You do realize that you just bumped a thread that was a year old right? Not only that, but you bumped it with literally nothing to add.
