“There were certainly opportunities we would have had to add “a big” in the traditional sense. At the same time when you watch Germany play in the Olympics you have to believe in Daniel Theis’s ability to defend those bigs” Griff

Everyone is wrong about our centers.
Our centers will be better defensively than last year.
Our centers will hit better than the 35% from deep they hit last year.
Our centers will hit more than the 65 3 pointers they hit last year.
OF COURSE it would be great to have a real and proven 3 and D center, but those players don’t exist or aren’t available.
Better to hold onto the assets and lock the can down the road to the deadline and this discount center rotation of nobodies is going to be way better than people expect
Theis is legit, even if he won’t play more than 15-20 minutes a game. Karlo is a bigger, more athletic Nance. He’s a rookie, but a Euro rookie and he was too good for Summer League. Jemison gives that big body, but he can also defend the perimeter.
