Orlando has the best backup Center in the league.

Yes? Or Yes?

Semantics maybe but I always consider Moe as the PF and JI as the F/C.

Ah well...

Moe ain't much defensively outside of taking charges, but he's legitimately a damn good offensive player.

When he catches it down low I never expect him to miss. Sometimes he’s the entire offense.

Coming into today, Moe was taking 54% of his total field goal attempts at the rim and making over 81% of them :o

Mo may not be as purely talented as Franz, but that dudes a beast in his own right. We talk about Cole Anthony being 6th man of the year type, but Mo has been phenomenal as well.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

Mo has been fantastic but it's the Mo/JI tandem that is special. Each balancing out the other's 'weakness'.

Having a Jamal Crawford-esque all offense, limited defense bench player in big man form is kinda fun, not gonna lie.

He also used to be a bit like coin toss Ross in being either on or off for any given game, but it's been coming up heads A LOT this season.

His around the rim finishing % is crazy, I guess that soft touch runs in the family.
