Embiid can work on the block but can also stretch the floor. You've also got Jokic who is an incredible passer and can score on all three levels. With such a focus on shooting, we are going to continue to see fewer and fewer one dimensional players.
You don't think that at some point, some dominant dude could come along and shoot a crazy high percentage in the paint destroying all these smallball C's and finesse players who are in the league now? Do you think that prime Shaq would have a place in this era? Or just unable to cope with the way the game has evolved. Im kind of interested in opinions on this. I just see too many wimpy bigs these days and it seems like it could suddenly evolve back to allowing for high percentage looks right at the rim with a physical specimen like him. There are very few C's in the league right now who could have stopped Shaq. Now what would he give up on the other end? That's the issue.
