Missi, Olynk, and Matkovic are a quality big rotation.

The team should keep all 3 and their big rotation is set imo. If you are not landing a Jarrett Allen or a Myles Turner, you don't move any of these dudes. Id keep Bamba also.

Missi is a VERY talented player and I think bro is much better offensively than we know at this point. He's had nights looking like Sengun in the post but his touches are just limited. I think dude can definitely average 15+PPG if that was his role (right now). In the future bro might be a guaranteed 18/10/3blk/1stl type of player.

Id like to see them look for him more in the post as this season winds down just to see if he can consistently score when he gets touches.

At worse, bro is a Dalembert or a Capela. At best, he's a ___________? (I can't really think of anyone who's a lob threat who can block shots with good coordination in the post). Maybe a JJJ with a better post game.

Idk. Maybe I'm going too far but dude is really impressive on some nights.

You did not just use the words looking like Sengun in the Post and Missi together in the same sentence. Sengun has conservatively 420 times the post bag that Missi has right now.

If you want to compare Missi to a young and drunk Clint Capela then fine. Sengun and Missi aren’t similar whatsoever.

I could have sworn I said that he's pulled off so e post moves that surprised me similar to Sengun before anyone knew what he was capable of.

Has Missi or has he not hit some well coordinated good looking post moves and counters at least 10-15 times?

The answer is yes, and to be honest; the couple times he has hit a post move it looked very good.

Missi is just getting started, He has loads of potential. Let’s give him time and see what happens.

Missi has a long way to go. Great pick for #21 but he isn’t close to being a quality starting center in this league

I don’t feel like researching it but I’d bet money Wemby is the only player in the last 20 years to hit that line

This is a bottom five big rotation in the league.

If we drop in the lottery, I wouldn’t mind drafting center Khaman Maluach from Duke. 7’2 but is very nimble and guards out on the perimeter, his block numbers aren’t great but his advanced stats show it’s because teams aren’t attempting shots at the rim with him. I think he also has a chance to develop a 3pt shot, he’s taken a few at duke and they haven’t gone in but his form looks good and he’s a 75% FT shooter.

A center rotation of Maluach and Missi could be our version of the lively and gafford combo that Dallas has. Then you have Olynyk and Karlo who can both play the 4 and 5.

I would play Zion pretty much at PG next year until Murray comes back.
