    Just an honest question... When did 22 become old and not able to get better ... Both Steph Curry and Klaus Thompson were 21 when they were drafted. Tim Duncan was 21 about to turn 22 when drafted ... Michael Jordan was 21 when drafted. It feels like the one and done philosophy has really warped out views of the age of players in the draft.

    I see Zach Edey being a bench big. And coming in as soon as a teams starting big steps out and he comes in and screws up any bench unit in the league. There isn't a single bench big who would be able to guard Zach Edey in the post. Now... who that's valuable too and who wants to implement that sort of system is up to each team. But that's how I'd use Edey and potentially force a team to play their starting big 40+ minutes.

    There's so many tall guys that don't rebound anymore. You would expect the dominant center like Donovan Clingan to get more than seven rebounds a game. It used to be that if you didn't have a very good shot you would then Park yourself under the rim to try to get as many rebounds as you could so that you were somehow pitching in to winning basketball. Now everybody's kind of a free agent out there. I think that comes from AAU and that really showed in the way the G League Ignite team looked like a bunch of individual players but a horrible combined team.😊
