'25 Playoff Rotation Predictions: A Collaborative Deep Dive

[omahen]

Is the league getting bigger?  Did Cleveland start the next fad?  The last few years it has been switchable wings/guards.  That is probably still the focus for a lot of teams.  You see Heat have been starting Bam and Ware.  OKC started Chet and hartenstein tonight.  Lakers are big.  Denver has a big front court.  I wonder if this is a new trend?

I think "big", if skilled, mobile and that can shoot, will always be better than small. Players are really evolving and with every generation more and more skilled bigs are coming to the league. Both Mobley and Chet are decent shooters and this is probably the main thing why it might work for them. Lakers have a bunch of big wings like LeBron, Hachimura, Vando (all three are 6-9) that are also able to play SF. I wouldn't call them bigs.
