He's played 83% of his minutes at center since entering the league

And another site to corroborate

http://www.82games.com/1819/18LAC18.HTM


he also came off the bench. Where a center isn't really needed. He isn't a starting center because he doesn't rebound well enough.

I'm not debating how good he is, I'm just stating a fact. I don't think he's a starter, but he is a center

Butler is going to the Nets with Kyrie, KD and Kawhi to the Knicks. Get ready for epic TV ratings in the biggest media market in the world.


People really sleeping on our young guys... if we somehow got KD and Kawhi, even with KD out next year a trio of RJ, Kawhi and Mitch with DSJ, Trier, Dot and some vet big men is probably still going to be able to beat Kyrie and Butler with Lavert, Allen, Dinwiddie .. just my opinion

Let's keep our expectations low and let the FO keep building around our young players. We're just not ready. Maybe in 3 or 4 years we will be, and that's alright.

Fiz has the same type of talent? Interesting.
They ended up on the same couch the Knicks were on by June though.



He did in Memphis. Still managed to alienate the whole team, and get himself fired.

Sounds like a reach. The team stunk after he left. The management chose 1 player over winning with Fiz. That same player got traded a year later to a championship team.

I would rather stab myself in the mother **** eye 17 times in a row than to listen to Sark post another comment about how miserable we are. WE GET IT. You hate the coach. Hate the roster. Hate the front office.

Agreed - I dont think people are truly understanding that he’s likely the most talented player we’ve drafted in a long long time.

Montrez deserves some MIP votes. The dude can get a bucket offensively and is all energy.

He is a Center.


he's an energy big and a really good one at that. You really think he can be a "starting" center in the NBA?

that was my point. He has limitations which wont let him start against bigger guys. Off the bench he's great where positions don't matter because there aren't many backup legit bigs so his lack of size is irrelevant.

I really hope Kawhi and KD take their time. I wanna be drunk off some Dusse in Vegas at the Summer League when news breaks.
