It’s nice to see the Center position being rejuvenated with Wiseman this past draft, Mobley next draft, and those 4 players in 2022.

I guess if you’re considering one of JJJ or Bagley as Centers. Their Wikipedia has them both listed as PFs.
It doesn’t really matter much anyway since Bamba has been a borderline bust so far and Wendell Carter Jr. is barely a starting caliber center.
I expect the 2022 class of centers to much more impactful overall.

JJJ is a C yes
and that point is that Centers going isn't exclusive to 2022 or any other class, its been happening

All I was implying is that 2022 seems like a strong draft class for centers.. And that I’m excited for it. It’s not like I’m saying “This is the first time ever!!”.
It kind of seems like you’re just trying to pick an argument.
Just like you mentioned before how you wished your Warriors had a high pick in 2021 instead of 2020, because you said wings in the 2021 Draft look much better than 2020’s wings.
That would be like someone replying to you and saying “Wings aren’t exclusive to 2021” even though that clearly wasn’t what you meant.

Gonzaga is in that sweet spot right now from a college fan perspective. This reminds me of Duke in the early 2010s. Gonzaga is in that nice sweet spot of having a team built around damn good 3-4 year players, then one elite freshman tossed in. Kind of like the 2011 Duke team when they had Kyrie Irving tossed in with Nolan Smith, Kyle Singler, Mason Plumlee, Ryan Kelly and so on.
Dont ge me wrong I loved that 2015 championship team and I really enjoyed that Zion young team. But man I loved how that 2011 Duke team was built, very curious what they couldve done without that Kyrie injury.
This year's Gonzaga team reminds me of that kind of roster. Just speaking from a college basketball fan perspective, those are my favorite teams to watch. Sallis is going to fit in very well with Gonzaga.

yea, I think that really should've been their model, but UK and Duke just ended up hoarding all the top recruits and started trottin out like 4/5 freshmen and it's been all downhill from there

K and Cal just stopped being college coaches. They became full-time recruiters, that is it. No more development for the non stars. It just became make way for the new 4-5 incoming freshmen, everyone else on the team kind of just figure it out or transfer. Then I think both guys felt like they had such a talent advantage, just roll the ball out there and let the talent advantage be the thing that wins the game.
Ive been watching Suggs all year with this Gonzaga team and thinking to myself, this is essentially the 2011 Duke team. This is how the top tier college programs should be doing it. Its a perfect mix of elite 3-4 year college players mixed with an elite freshman NBA prospect. And you got an elite coach that knows how to handle that balance perfectly. Where Suggs isnt being lost in the system (I think this is Roy Williams really struggles with top tier recruits), but he also isnt this overwhelming force that crushes the system. Few is doing a great job at showing Suggs skills off, while also coaching his team to win. Huge fan of this Gonzaga team.

yea, that's perfectly said. Looks like Gonzaga might get Chet this year as well so that's 2 top 10 recruits, hoping they can just stick to that and don't start going overboard like UK and Duke did
