Also I don't think you can cite rebounding , interior presence as a reason for a high motor when he plays less than 20 min a game, and i mean he has such an advantage with physical gifts that in college he doesn't need to work that hard for a defensive rebound (I never watch Michigan State so this is all speculation)
*or rather has arguably better physical gifts.

Yeah, I'm way more worried about Skal's mentality than pretty much any other lottery prospect.

And who are these low-post 4s you're so scared of? Sure they still exist, but is Skal getting scored on in the post a couple times going to lose us many games? Usually it's other kinds of defensive breakdowns - rotations, blow-bys, etc - that Casey yanks youngsters for (not that Skal wouldn't have his share of these).
Skal might not start, but I could see him being in the rotation as a rook.
So maybe Skal could play some back up 3 or 4...
I didn't say I was afraid of any 4's. I said I didn't think Skal would match up against men 30 lbs heavier than him At the PF position for the foreseeable future. It is very hard to play against someone down low if you are physically outmatched , which Skal will be. And given that this is the NBA, I would expect that mismatch to be exploited. I don't think he's physically ready to play extended minutes as an NBA big man.

My concern with Skal is more his perimeter D. But he definitely wouldn't be playing the 3. He'd see time at the backup 5 in time, though probably not as a rook.
Backup 5 we've got Bebe as a big-body. Then you can fill in with a cheap athletic 4/5 in the Jason Thompson mold. Not a real concern IMO.Last edited by SkywalkerAC; Sat Jun 18, 2016, 05:45 PM.

Why or why not?! And is Bobby Portis talent (long term) is better then the PF's currently slated to be picked at the 9th spot?!

But yeah, Portis was/is a good fit.Last edited by SkywalkerAC; Sat Jun 18, 2016, 05:55 PM.
