Embiid
Lopez
Horford
Gasol
And probably a few I haven't mentioned are using the 3pt offense as a main arsenal, this is something I never would have imagined even with modern day offense.
I don't think Shaq / Hakeem and other natural bigs will be okay with it. |

Eh. It's most likely a cyclical thing. Teams are going with small lineups, typically four shooters and one big man. If you can make the other big man guard you on the perimeter, then the other team has no rim protection. If this is a successful strategy, then teams will adjust to it. |

We may be entering another golden age of talented big men like AD, Embiid and KAT. We don't to suffer watching offensively challenged centers like DeAndre and Dwight.

How would specialists like Mark Eaton survive today? Almost impossible.

Karl-Anthony Towns shooting .394 from 3 point land.

I make it a point to watch Sixers and T-Wolves games now, at least the highlights. I love watching Embiid and KAT. With AD we all know more or less what he can do, but Embiid and KAT are a joy to watch and will be dominating for years. Hoping they both stay healthy.
Maybe one of them ends up a being Laker.

Some centres are shooting 3s way behind the line. The fact they don't need to jump, and that the opposing centre does not come out to guard them, makes it a good option.
What is better, Al Horford left alone shooting 3s, or I. Thomas going on one and shooting fade away 3s ?

Cousins!!!! Dude is a beast. I finally got to watch him really play last night against the Wizards. My goodness!!!! No wonder people wanted to trade Randle for Cousins. I would do that in a new york min. Boogie is a BEAST - 36 points 20 rebounds!!!! The only issue is that he is a head case. He is just too damn aggressive AND arrogant, you see it in the way he plays. He is looking to fight EVERY min. Too much of a head case.

| It's awesome to see them doing that. Opens up the court, changes defensive schemes and will I think eventually lead to more ball movement as these Cs get used to putting the ball on the court, driving and kicking as well. Makes the game a little more fun to watch. |
