JaVale McGee is the most athletic Center in the league today.

You're missing the big kid in Sacramento that's averaging 23/11.


The position is on the upswing with a gang of under 28 year old centers putting up numbers, it just lacks the superstar big man that you can build around. There's quality at the position though.
idk about big cuzz man... i need my center to shoot over 50%. he has the tools but hes lacking something
He's not a two way center, if he could play defense as well as he played offense he'd be the best player in the league. They can build around him, but they need to get rid of Thomas, Thompson and Gay, he needs a defensive squad around him with length to make up for his lack of great defense.

And he's shooting 50% for the season, his last 10 games he's averaging 25ppg, 13rpg 4apg, 2spg 1bpg on 53% shooting and outplayed Dwight in that stretch.
how many players are they gonna get rid of to compliment him tho? they been tryna put talent around him put it doesnt lead to w's. so something is wrong.

I think Drummond is, when you take weight into the equation, no reason a dude that's 280-290lbs should be as quick & fast as Drummond is.
You the resident big man guru on here breh....If u say it's Drummond then it's Big Drumm:salute:

I got my UK brehs Davis and Cousins as the best 2 Centers in the L

And hes in foul trouble every game too:whew:

His biggest problem was rushing around the rim. He has calmed down around the rim and has his go to half hook. Hes almost there

Who did they get rid of? They chose him over Reke and got a nice complimentary wing guy in Rudy

David Robinson and Shaq were more athletic :ld:

He's right with Robinson t least but Shaq too.

Shaq lacked speed but he more than made up for it with power and quickness

You read that right, guy. Speed and quickness are NOT the same thing especially in athletics.

But yeah, David Robinson was hands down the most athletic player to play Center that I've see and none else is close. Some of the closest ones i could think of would be Kenyon Martin and Amare Stoudemire

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?

Yeah, their front office is what's wrong with them.

It's pretty obvious how they should build around him, but this is a organization that took Robinson to play the 4 next to him, when they needed Drummond or Henson, someone to cover the ground Cousins cant. They also traded for Rudy, when they need a 3 & D guy to play SF.

Basically, I feel Cousins can be a player you run offense through & play in the 4th quarter, so why exactly do you need offense first guys at PG, SF & PF. Thomas, Thompson and Gay can't defend their position, and all 3 are awful team defenders so with Cousins being a poor defender himself and the last line of defense it just leads to people scoring a ton of points on them.

You drop Cousins on the Celtics right now and they are the 3rd best team in the East, they play defense and have trouble scoring.

he said they should trade rudy and isiah thomas too so thats why i asked how many players are gonna get traded to compliment him. he might be the problem


Gay plays d he can stay, they need to get a 4 who can do dirty work. Cuz, Gay and IT have played well together in the 9 games so far. The biggesy problem is not only is there not alot of defense being played our roleplayers are inconsistent. But the gm will fix this squad somehow

They could keep Thomas, he'd be a really nice player off the bench, but dude is not a starter no matter how nice his numbers look cause he can't even remotely guard his position.

Legit 7'1" running like that?

DeAndre is 6'9.75" without shoes, the Admiral was 7'1" without them. For sense of scale, Timmy and DeAndre Jordan are just about the same height -

:bow:

This is what people forget about Robinson. Dude had the skill set of most 3's today yet was a legit 7'1.

  • Most clones these days wanna clown him for getting owned by SHaq. Who didn't get owned by Prime Shaq? And most of it was AFTER he got hurt and was never the same
  • A lot of clones still wanna clown him for getting schooled by Hakeem. Who didn't get schooled by Hakeem?
i always say the people who relentlessly clown Robinson are either stupid or never saw him play

Not anymore, dude looks like he put on some weight and doesn't give a fukk about that side of the floor, watching him try to defend Evan Turner the other night was just sad.

And especially not for the money he makes :scusthov:
