He is a PG/forward. he will never be a Center.


I disagree. I think he can be as good as Draymond at defending the 5. What he does on offense is irrelevant to the position.

He is the closest thing to a center this current starting lineup has. He does guard the opponent’s bigs, does most of the jump balls, is very effective scoring in the post, and makes plays down low too. While he is a bit short, he has great wingspan (7’3), and more importantly he has great hands. Nurse ran some plays for Scottie similar to what he did with Marc Gasol.


He is not a Center, in fact he is closer to any other position than being a Center.

It's all played out of necessity right now because the starting lineup currently is a poor fit.

Make no mistake, THE only reason why Pascal and Scottie play the 5 is because we can’t send GTJ to the bench.


Exactly.

Alright, so who would you say is our current starting C? There has to be a C (especially if the other team plays a true C; you are the position you have to cover)

Random kids pull in millions of dollars a year. I'm surprised more athletes don't do it, especially those just starting their careers and not earning a lot yet. It's easy money. An athlete can get the subscribers needed to earn seven figures without much effort.

Exactly. Most of them are just playing video games and trash talking in their off time anyway. It's easy money.

I doubt Scottie will be the shot blocker rim protector defense anchor. Not if we want him to run the offense.
That guy is rather precious

Forget the 3, if Scottie comes into next season with a reliable mid-range game it's over for the league. 20+ ppg secured.
