To this day, most of the guys getting 10 boards a game are guys in drop coverage defense who only hang out near the rim on both sides— Gobert, Whiteside, Tristan Thompson, Capela, Jordan, Jonas, etc. There are very few guys who do more for your team who also get 10 boards a game— last year Giannis and Bam were the only ones who’d roam more on defense and still get ten boards.

So 20/10 is definitely not something you can pencil in even the best lotto big men to do anymore, because the offense likely doesn’t run through them, and they likely can’t play as many minutes in a stretched-out, perimeter-oriented game.

Elite means something different today. Efficiency matters, diversity of skills matters.
