No really?

They were both versatile and skilled.

All 3 are versatile and/or skilled.

While he was good, he was only scoring. And not versatile.

Take all of the Centers there. Not including Anthony Davis, and he's the best.

They asked him before Love, Griffin, Aldridge dropped out.

No, they've could've and were offered a lot for him. And they signed him to a long term deal.
>The FACT that he's had 3 coaches in 4 years and the FACT that >despite being one of the most talented young big men in the >NBA in 4 seasons his teams have never won more than 28 games >in a season is telling. >
Is it telling on him or the organization? Because there a lot of players in the camp who've won less.
