Who Fits In?

Draft a young wing, trade for an established center. Sounds rational to me.

Regarding centers, height, weight, and attitude - two names spring to mind.
Dave Cowens - 6'9", 230 lbs.
Joakim Noah - 6'11" -232 lbs.

They both share one champion making feature - attitude.

Give me attitude over other stats all day long.

Worcester, if one wants to get extreme, think about center Wes Unseld @ 6' 7" 245 who won a championship with Washington. Of course, that was long ago; but, if one compares his stats with other centers of the day (at least in terms of height), Wes was at a disadvantage. I'd have paid money to see Unseld play a game against Sully. Of course, the game would have had to be held in Pamplona.

I was thinking about Wes too. What an amazing down the court passer he was, if my memory serves me well.

One of the great outlet passers.

Such an overlooked skill in today's NBA.

Those measurements for Embiid and Wiggins were both taken this summer at the Nike Hoop Summit.

I'll go with the player that the General Managers would make as their consensus top pick, the player with the best chance, in the near future, to be an ALL LEAGUE player based on his SCORING or REBOUNDING ability. Position not a factor.

For those of you who enjoy playing roullette, try spinning this wheel.

This is ESPN's Chad Ford's "Big Board".  

Play the lottery.  It spins the balls, assigns you a lottery slot based upon probability (e.g. given the Celtics' current record they have a 13.7% chance of getting the #1 pick) and then Chad Ford says that, based upon who is left on the board, this is who that team would take.
