Wasn't much of a revival in the playoffs when it matters.

All 4 teams in the conference finals had 7fters that played significant roles. Turner and Chet are like the poster boys for stretch bigs who also protect the rim.

It's looking more and more like we need a versatile 7fter. Either one who can shoot or one who can catch a lob, while providing some rim protection.

That's not a revival though lol floor spacing bigs that can defend have never went out of style. They're also at a big premium because they are hard to find.

You are tripping right now. This season showed, that a classical big that can defend is vital for any team to succeed. It does not mean, that a team has to play them 48 minutes a game, but depending on the match ups, it will be needed. Is it nice if they can shoot? Yes. But not necessary, as we have seen these playoffs. Turner for example is brought up as a strech 5 constantly. He was shooting 3.9 a game at 34%, but the shooting got worse, the longer the Playoffs went. Against the Knicks he was only 7 for 22 (31,18%) and against OKC 6 for 28 (21,42%).

Essentially, none of the bigs have been good shooters, or in Kats case it was even worse as he is a bad defender.

Okay man whatever you say.

Did you even read his scouting report? His far more usable as a switch defender. He also is only 6-7 which makes him undersized on that position.

Hes gonna be playing those backup Center minutes. This is like when Toronto drafted Scottie Barnes and noone knew what he did. Tried to explain to people he was a pointguard in Highschool, Team USA and for Florida St. People would say just because he can dribble does not make him a PG. Well he is a PG. CMB is a Center. Hes not going to fit any typical Center roles currently in the league but hes a Center. He expects to battle with the 7 footers. He wont be complaining about being matched up with Embiid or Jokic. He wont just give up. Hes gonna find solutions and win matchups. Being undersized is not going to stop him from being productive.

You are not a center with 6-7. Even centers with 6-9 count as undersized.

They need a defensive big since forever, Looney was nice as a lob threat, but didnt provide much else. There was a reason why Draymond had to play so much center.

Sengun can also play the PF position as that could be more natural to him....Having Adams/Capella is a good problem to have...

Having Barrett and DeMar on the same team would be wild, but Perry did draft Barrett
