Love the passion.
But precious is 210lbs.
Bam goes 255. Embiid 275 on a good day. Jared Allen who got rag dolled by Embiid while in Brooklyn goes 250 as well.
It matters.
The centre position has won 2 consecutive MVPs.
Thats not an old lens.
Also I seriously doubt Precious is 210 lbs now.

The Raptors are betting everything they have that it doesn't.

Brook.Lopez 280
Old Man River Al Horford 250
Bam Adebyo 255
Clint Capella 260
Joel Embiid 275
Jared Allen 250
Nik Vucevic 260
These guys play at the 5 for the teams we most likely would see in the playoffs.
In a half court game.
Nelly Ball was great in the regular season... just not so much in the playoffs.
Its lonely here on Centre Island ...
There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

The Toronto Raptors signed forward Gabe Brown on Wednesday, the team announced, affording them the chance to have yet another player with length in their development pipeline.
The Raptors did not officially disclose the length or value of the contract. However, according to Sportsnet's Blake Murphy, Brown was signed to an Exhibit 10 deal — a minimum, non-guaranteed deal to come to camp.

But size/weight is only one factor. Golden State won the championship with Looney as their center. But even they drafted Wiseman with a top pick a couple of seasons ago.
I think this is why we got Koloko. But it will take a few years for him to become a rotation piece. We also were in on a lot of center rumours the past couple of years. We had a lot of interest in Gobert apparently. Had interest in Poeltl and Turner last season, and perhaps the price tag for each got a little too hot for us, so we bailed.
Yet not having a traditional 7' center last season is not the reason we lost to the 76ers. Joel had a great series, but we primarily lost because the 76ers were hot from 3 and were really good in transition.

We have to protect the rim and rebound as well.
And we are being beaten on a regular basis in both those elements of defense.
In Defensive Rebounds and Second Chance points given up we are either last or second last.
Rim protection and rebounding fixes that.
That part of basketball doesn't age.
Im not out on Achiwua... Its he is being asked to do something hes not equipped to do. Like being asked to build a 6 foot fence with 4 foot boards.

I'm not saying we should be happy with the lack of rim protection, but these are calculated disadvantages which the coaches and management are all well aware of. They simply feel the advantage they have by playing small outweighs that disadvantage.
