He was always pretty severely out of breath in his early career because of his asthma. That probably took up a lot of his though processing

This is why he’s still in the league

Yeah if Porzingis went for a decent box out it’d end up a much better play.

There was a good example in the Wolves/Pels game where Ingram threw up a floater in the paint and the actual shot didn’t really matter, because Valanciunas already had rebound + putback positioning. It was essentially a pass of the glass at that point

/u/Rswany that’s some high quality material

Why are you phrasing this so strangely? The Mavs gave up a top 5 protected first to move into the top 3.

I didn’t even realise starting on the other side was allowed in the NBA. Always assumed it wasn’t since you see it at other pro levels internationally but never in the NBA

It’s a fair thought. Prime and peak are two seperate things, and LeBron’s probably had the longest prime of any player in the NBA. The question is when it started.

Derrick Rose and Brook Lopez are two players I’d argue had their peaks outside of their primes for example.
