Philly is trying to get at least 10 of the top big men for a massive down low rotation. Getting there.

AD is 22 years old and 7ft 270+ in a league where the dominant big man of yesteryear is rare. He is nearly averaging 20/20 and has a lot of years left and will only get better. With his size and athleticism in 5 years he may be an unstoppable force the league hasnt seen since shaq. The more i see of AD all uconn bias aside i dont think there is a player under 25 that id take over him.

The free throw shooting is a real problem. Because of that, I'd take Davis, Towns, and Kawhi over him.

Interesting. I hadn't seen him enough to know the extent to which he doesn't have a jump shot.
