I wouldnt exactly consider baltazar as young, especially grouped with the rest of the prospects you mentioned.

I compare him to Old Post Injury Danny S now. Lol.

Anyway, If he prove he can be a pre injury Danny S That is better.

ANOTHER THING IS, I THINK MASON WILL BE USED BY OUR COACHES AS A BIG THATS WHY.

IF I AM THE COACH, I WILL PUT HIM IN THE WING, BUT I AM NOT THE COACH.

SO, I CONSIDER HIM BIG BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I THINK GILAS WILL USE HIM NOW
 
Anyway I am. Probably too young to remember.

But as far as I know Danny S Plays 3 and sometimes 4 in SMB.

Did he play as a 2 regularly. Cant remember clearly. I am probably elemenyary that time. Haha

Danny S is 6’6 and lived in the michael jordan-kobe bryant era. I think thats enough to color your imagination.
Also he played with enough bigs (belasco, pena, ildefonso, abuda, etc) to ensure that he will play in the perimeter most of the time.

DS was better than El Khatib during his team to bad that 2002 ACL injury happened when our NT played a tuneup game against Qatar for the Asian Games 2002.

I think he was usually playing the 3 spot SMB had Pena, DI, Belasco and Abuda rotating 4 and 5 position

Only becoz Khatib was younger. During the early 2000's Seigle was already in his mid-20's while Khatib was still in his early 20's. Which means that at that time Seigle was already in his prime while Khatib was still on the rise.

I think a prime Khatib is still better than a prime Danny Seigle in terms of overall skills. We have to take note that while Seigle was a solid scorer, he was a deadweight on defense. Khatib on the other hand plays solidly in both ends.

Thanks.

Thats why he is called Walking Mismatch

Isnt it Nice For Mason to be like that?

THOUGH TALLER RDO may be good enough

Even D’Admiral admitted he’s a little slow to play the wing
 
Now, let's see in 2021 Draft prospects who are the best International Centers. Here they are:


Alperen Sengun - 6'9 Turkey

Moussa Cisse - 6'10 Guinea

Usman Garuba - 6'8 Spain

Charles Bassey - 6'9 Nigeria

Ibou Dianko Badji - 7'1 Senegal

Khalifa Diop - 6'11 Senegal

Filip Petrusev - 6'11 Serbia

Ariel Hukporti - 7'0 Germany

Neemias Queta - 7'0 Portugal

Kai Sotto - 7'3" Philippines

Makur Maker - 6'11 Australia

Hope, they all get drafted and play in Nba. Nba Bigs starting to revive again. And International Centers are the ones who reviving Centers in Nba.

PS: I Really think few years from now, Nba "Bigs" Position will be dominated by International Bigs.

Even Wiseman who's playing for GS doesn't look that good at the moment TBH. He looks so raw.

Wiseman’s always been a bit more of a traditional big man. Next year’s Mobley though is a more modern much more skilled big though the questions are about his frame\strength

Yup also gleague teams tend to use 6’7-6’8 centers which is similar to what is happening in the Philippines but they aren’t traditional bigs. Watching the highlights it seems Princepal had problems guarding the perimeter and interior as well. But according to coach Shaw he’s the one who has improved the most out of all the prospects which makes sense since he’s the one that probably had to start from a lower point playing in India and having to get used to the level of athleticism and physicality displayed

Ayun, there's our template. As I keep saying, our 6'6"-6'8" guys should not be traditional bigs limited to just rebounding and paint protection. We're really slow on picking up these developments. It's been a thing since the early 2010's.
