That doesn't mean he's a big man offensively. That just means there's 3 or 4 smaller players on the court at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogie did for the Pelicans. AD has at times, especially now. NBA positions are so blurred now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said usually for a reason. Some teams trot out two bigs. New Orleans is one, Boston does it on occasion, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utley Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The best definition I can come up with for a big, is a player that operates around the rim defensively and is best utilized guarding another teams biggest player. But again, there are exceptions to that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, which further proves my point that classifying players into positions based on their strengths is inconsistent to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 There is only a couple of players that it is questionable if they are a big or wing. Draymond and Milsap are the only two I can see going either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, only big man that I put over him is Davis, who is just from another world. I'd take Embiid over Cousins, but that's a tough one. KAT isn't better than Embiid, let's stop that.

Boogie has a higher DWS but Embiid does lead the league in opponent FG% at the rim right? Or did at one point? I'd still take Boogie as the overall player. Embiid's massive health concerns can't be ignored either. Dudes a walking injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
