Lol yes I was just about to say this. Sabonis set a record for consecutive double doubles since the nba-aba merger 50 years ago and Chet would be rookie of the year in most other seasons.

The biggest weakness on our team is we need better centers, especially someone who can shoot. Look at the top nba teams:

Boston - Porzingis and Hortford
Minny - Naz and KAT
Denver - Jokic
Bucks - Portis and Lopez

If you have someone like Zion, it’s imperative to find a center who can shoot. Not sure if it took Griff this long to realize it, or if he’s tried and not been able to work out a trade, but I’m worried we’re stuck as a good not great team until we find the right center.

What’s annoying is both Val and Nance can hit threes but it’s so low volume it doesn’t matter.

Nah, Willie's usage of the 5 position is the bigger issue. That position is not that big of a weakness for us, but it IS a weakness based on the who Willie plays at the 5.

Sabonis is a 4. He has put up monster stats but the kings interior defense is absolute dog shite. Chet has been a great rookie but the thunder have had major interior defense and rebounding issues. Both are great players but that doesn’t mean they’re the perfect centers.
