what does Andre do better than Boban? 

Post#1 » by davidvolumes » Sun Jun 25, 2017 1:08 pm

Free throw shooting... No need to go there.
passing...?????
Protecting the paint... I think Boban is much better at clogging the paint. It seems few challenge Boban in the paint.
Rim protection...Andre is not much of a rim protector imo. Slow to react and not instinctual.
Offensive efficiency...Andre has no post game. Doesn't fight to establish good position. No go to move.Low bbiq.

To sum it all up why is Dre alloted 30 minutes a game and Boban relegated to the bench?

Rebounding. Then again, the per 36 numbers probably don't entirely support that assertion.

This is just silly. Andre is one of the most athletic bigs in the league. His rebounding is great. We just need him to pick it up at the offensive end and play better team defense. He is light years better than Boban.

Andre has gone from overrated to underrated real quick.

It happens when a rookie contracts turns into a max.

Boban is really slow, one of the slowest players I've ever seen in the league.

His per minute numbers are great but there's a reason Baynes kept getting the minutes over him.

The criticism against Andre is fair. He deserves a lot of it for his attitude and work ethic, and the fact that he appears to lack the killer instinct and determination that great players all have.

But this is too far.

Better debatable question is what Dre does significantly better than prime Reggie Evans.

If you don't know why Bobo can't play big minutes every night then I don't think anyone here can help you out.

Maybe see an eye specialist?

Jump and run, but it doesn't get him much except more transition buckets.

It's summer, the lull between the draft and free agency. I don't think OP was entirely serious when posing the question.

Don't worry, we'll have KCP to pick apart when he signs a massive contract in a couple weeks.

I don't see where OP suggested Boban should get "big minutes" every night. He asks why Boban is nailed to the bench for the entire game (0 minutes) while Dre gets major minutes every night. The question is valid. There's no reason why Boban shouldn't have been getting 7-10 minutes per game last year. And not garbage minutes.

The question might be valid but none of us can answer it.

SVG is why Bobo doesn't play 7-10 minutes a game.

And he'd say it's due to match ups or other dudes having it rolling on that specific day
