We've got threads for every other member of our starting unit, it's time for The Is to get his due.
I was down on him the last two seasons, really preferred Baynes and didn't get the idea of why we needed an undersized center who couldn't hang with the big beef. But his skills have developed, and his game really complements the rest of the team. His energy on defense, his instincts on blocks, and his ability to contest shots without fouling are good and getting better. Just ask Trae Young.
Anyone who has not just the skills but the courage to do this to Giannis can play in this league, and for a long time.

I'm not sure he's truly sploogefest-worthy, but he's playing 22 minutes a game and starting every night, and outperforming his $5M salary. For a defense-first team philosophy, he's a great fit.
