He addressed that too. Still doesn't change the fact that no team starting a 22 year old center has ever won an NBA championship.

Yeah I know he is undersized a bit as a true center, but it would be nice to have a guy that you know could play 25-30 minutes in a game if he had to, and not be a huge negative in the game. We don't have anyone like that right now outside of Ayton. Dario has had some stretches, but not consistently.

Tim Duncan was playing forward when he won his first ring.

Fortunately, Game 7 of the Finals will go to overtime, so we will win the championship at 12:00 AM eastern (Nassau) time on July 23, so Ayton will no longer be 22 when we win the title and he lifts the golden Larry O'Brien Trophy on his golden birthday.

We will win the championship with Kaminsky starting at Center and DA starting at PF.

Eh.

We have almost nobody on the entire roster about whom I say, "Oof, he's bad, get him out of there and back onto the bench." It's an impressive roster construction, despite being a little thin at backup big-man spots.

Re: Suns News: Week 18 4/19-4/25
Thank you. I think there are a whole lot of apples and oranges comparisons within that data set AND when comparing that data to today's game/this Suns team.
I think those numbers are as valuable as those stupid "only player to average 15/5/5" data sets that paired Eric Bledsoe and LeBron James during Bledsoe's regrettable tenure here.

But that was next to David Robinson. Duncan was legitimately playing the 4 then. What I don't count are the years where they would play Rasho Nesterovic or Francisco Elson for 16 minutes at the 5 and still try to claim Duncan was a 4.Indy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 5:38 pmSome of that is just semantics.

Yeah, Duncan certainly saw time there, but Robinson was protecting him.
