That play at 1:20. How many centers in NBA history have that combination of defensive awareness, ball-handling and athleticism?

With how many great young big men there are in the league right now (KAT, Davis, Porzingis, Jokic) it seems we might be on the brink of a golden age of centers similar to the 90s.

Simply put, it's AD and KAT ushering in the neo-NBA big man era....and you've got guys like you mentioned, Boogie too.

I saw that play earlier, he looked so awkward dribbling up the court almost like in his head he was saying uhhh anybody want to come get this ball or foul me or something?

Read an article earlier today about how he is basically the ultimate kryptonite to the small ball era because of his combination of size and skill.

They are probably going to have coaches jumping all over each other for that job.

He's gonna be fun to watch over the next few years but fwiw Perkins is one of the worst centers in the league

Who will have the best career out of the three UK big men? Towns, Davis or Cousins?

Which one gets out of their respective shitholes and into a real contender first?

Definitely not Cousins.

KAT has more upside than AD, which is just crazy to think about.

He's not the most athletic, he barely has any lift on his shot, but plays really smart and knows how to beat you.


KAT's athletic.
