105825, Multiple year All-Star.
Posted by Frank Longo, Fri Jun-19-15 11:52 PM
At absolute worst, he'll be one of those multiple All-Star types that can't get it done in the playoffs but is regarded as one of the best centers of his era. His offensive skill set is simply that good from Day 1, and his defensive concerns are waaaaay overblown for a myriad of reasons I don't even feel like getting into. On the wrong team, he could get that "empty stats" reputation that Al Jefferson seems to have fallen into, except better and almost certainly on a bigger market squad, meaning endorsements, ASGs, and the like.

At absolute best, he's the centerpiece of a perennial title contender and a HOFer. Especially if he lands in LA, where they can devote themselves to bringing in the FA shooters to surround him with. It's not an exaggeration to say his offense was the best I've seen from a freshman traditional big easily since Brand, and maybe since Duncan.
