    I read here that his game resembled Hassan Whiteside.

    The averages are:

    19.6 ppg, 11.6 rebounds off 63% shooting over the last 5 games.

    Also - 3 wins out of those 5 games.

    Just a beast in the post on offense and a guy who can both switch onto the perimeter or control the paint defensively. I don't know what more you want from a big man besides the fact that his jumper is so fundamentally sound he could probably take it out to at least the corner three.

    A stat they put up during the game showed he has not shot a three this year. I think he certainly could get there.

    That would mean even fewer FTs. You must really hate the guy.

    Just think! If he gets fouled taking a three point shot he could get 3 free throws in one play! That's gotta be close to a 50% increase! He might even catch up to Joel Pryzbilla at that rate?

    Why are we appreciating him playing his position? He literally plays in the post. Why appreciate that?

    it should be noted that it took Sly 6 months and 10 pages to come up with that joke

    the pace of comedy around here has really lagged
