I wish it was the "biggest issue" but it's not.

With CC and LNJr expiring, the opportunity is there to remake the C position this offseason. Likely two FRP. OO needs to convince that he can start. If he can then it gets easy to bring in a vet to back up C and draft a C to develop

Rocco is huge.
Rocco is intriguing.
Rocco is years away from contributing.

There is some definite Center talent in this draft class.

But these dudes are so raw.

One of the best things about Centers in 2024 draft: most had multiple year of college experience/coaching. (Edey, Clingan, Ware, Bona, Ighodaro)

The teen big men in this draft class are likely years away from contributing to a competitive NBA team.

Probably the best caliber prospect we can reasonably hope for with that Kings pick...

Rocco has a higher ceiling than all of them. I need to see more but I suspect he's competent out to the mid range with a very good motor.

Kalkbrenner is interesting if he is available in the SRP

I think his draft age is going against him, but as a SRP he could be a solid back up big

Ivisic twins are at #45 and #48 on Tankathon big board. That must be cool for two twin brothers to get drafted in same draft

That would be too funny. Can you imagine Nique dealing with that? :lol:
