Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3892428, member: 2117"] Even so, right there are 5 elite level posts in a league with 12 players. What makes having a post more significant than having elite level forwards? Seattle has won 2 of the last 3 titles without a true center, and in the 2019 Finals we saw two teams that predominantly used lineups with elite forwards (EDD, Meesseman, A. Thomas, Jonquel Jones) instead of centers. LA made back to back finals without a true center. Before that it was Indiana without a true center. I agree finding a traditional low post center who isn't dying to be a perimeter shooter is rare, but I don't see what makes that type of prospect so coveted unless they're the next Brittney Griner which Boston isn't. Most of the elite forwards listed fill the center role defensively and play excellent post defense. The best teams in the W usually aren't centered around having a big center down low. I'd rather take an extremely dynamic point guard who can get in the lane, consistently score, put teammates in spots to score and rain threes. Right now the only player with that skill set is Ionescu and she's played 2 games so far. [/QUOTE]
