He looks so intimidating compared to the other players. I know it's a highlight tape - but yea, I see the similarity to the Mail Man & that would be a great combo with KP. It would be great to have a player like an Oakley to clean the boards, play defense- do the dirt work and allow KP to have it easy on D to come in from the weak side to block shots.

He looks pretty impressive. He looks like a slightly smaller Embiid, more fluid in the post.
I do have a hesitation about having two primary post guys on the team - I don't know if you can make that work in the modern NBA. You see how Philly struggled with Okafor and Embiid. He does look good though. ¿ △ ?

Draft Express currently has him around 44th in the mock... we have picks 47 and 58 in the second right now... I'm sure he'll move up after the tournament though.

I like him, Briggs.
NBA body for sure. Your comparison to the mailman is spot on.... I personally see a little of Willis Reed in him, too! "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships."

The highly intriguing parts of his game is the ability to step out and pass the ball as well. Name me another player like him in the last 10 years. This could be a serious piece next to Kp -- with willy as the third big we'd be set for 10 years. Great nba players have his intimidation features but with the skill-- he also is a unicorn. One of a kind. He does look like Willis reed but with more range RIP Crushalot😞

lol...karl malone...lol
most likely hell be a danny fortson type...not karl malone. good prospect but i dont think hell be a great pro Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Briggs that's a swell find. He passes, sets picks, can shoot, has moved in the post and hasn't finished growing
He's a grown up Oakley with a tough and intimidating |
