    Lol look at the best big men in the league: Davis, Cousins and Towns. There all on losing teams

    Thought the same thing. Also his progression seems very Yao-ish too.


    Prozingus= White Yao

    Don't you mean he's the Asian Yao?

    In some aspects he has some similarities with Yao. But Kristaps is so much more fluid, mobile and athletic. It's really unprecedented. I can't think of another 7'3+ guy who was so coordinated and could move like he does. Maybe prime Ralph Sampson or young pre-injuries Sabonis? But that's about it, and even those examples are a bit of a reach. It's so rare to keep those attributes when you get to that height.

    I mean... This is not a 6-9, or 6-10, or 6-11, or even a 7'0 guy doing it... He's 7'3...
