twitter.comSend him to the D league. It did wonders for JC.

Yes, this. Let him get used to the NBA but not in an environment that can just outpace and stymie development.

Ehhh, has it done much for anyone else in the NBA though?

Lin, Danny Green, Birdman?

Damn right he will!

not hard in this day and time lol

So he "only" needs to be better than one of Drummond, KAT, Boogie, Whiteside, and DeAndre
10
He said top 5 not #1. Being better than deandre shouldn't be too hard, just hit your free throws and have a real offense game
3†
Ok so just ignore the fact that he's like the best defensive big
12
He is? That's news to me!

Deandre is a monster, what are you talking about dude.

And Embiid

Well three of those guys are pretty one dimensional.

So

So if those are the best centers you can think of it isnt hard to imagine anyone being better than them in 2 years.

It wasnt hard 3 years ago but have you looked around lately? Young bigs are coming up. I.e. drummomd, oakafor, gobert, embiid, KAT, jokic, and Whiteside. Not to mention established ones like the gasols, howard, Jonas, Al Horford, Adams, Deandre, and Cousins. Not as easy as you make it sound.

Who knows. Marc Gasol and DeAndre were both 2nd rd picks. Why not Zubac?

Metta : I meant top 5 on the Lakers, not in the league
Zubac did well against Dwight , tho.. I'm encouraged

I have faith

I want to see him play!!!

Yo i just want to say that this sub is the only place Ive seen where you can actually minimize whole comment chains. That needs to be a thing across all of reddit.
1
You can do that in any Reddit sub man...

Shit, you're right.
3
Do you even Reddit?
2
I think so too. He already has a lot of skill and still developing athletically...not sure about top 5 but definitely elite
1
Love me some Metta, and I hope he's right, but he's also the same dude who said Devin Ebanks would be a star
1
I have faith but he also said Ryan Kelly was KD-lite lol
Light skinned and similar height, reasonable assessment I'd say.
R Kelly isn't a bitch though
very lite
