Even then, you don’t need moves. Lower your shoulder and be a bully

To be ELITE I think as a big you still need to be able to have a post game to utilize at least sometimes.
You can still be a real good player and get paid a **** ton like DJ, Gobert and Drummond but those type of dudes aren’t anchoring you on both sides of the floor and winning you a championship as your best player.

I can't see a post player winning you a chip as your best player anymore.
The rules have dictated you have to have an elite wing player.

even still, Duncan in his prime on the block won a title a decade ago.

I’m not talking about your traditional back to the basket big winning you a championship or making your team a contender...I’m just saying you can’t be an ELITE big if you don’t have a post game to go to at least once in a while.

KG spent as much time posting up as he did spotting up in the 2008 playoffs

Do you consider Rudy Gobert elite?

KG was much more of a hybrid 4/5 like we see today with the likes of AD, KAT, etc. Just not out to 3 point range.
The majority of all chips have been won by dominant centers and dominant wings. The big man may be seeing a resurgence honestly, just not focus on low post. Embiid and KAT have great footwork and moves down low as well as Boogie, but they sprinkle in being a stretch big as well.

Crazy thing is I think Embiid is good enough to change the landscape of basketball but he can’t stay on the court.

If Capela had better stamina he would be an Allstar

The one thing I hate about the trade is I can no longer head up to the Q to watch them. Been to at least one matchup every season they've played except last year. Super hype for tomorrow though

Embiid's 3 ball fell all the way off. I remember buc em having a fit when I said it would come down from the 50% he was at to start last season 
. It's almost half that now
