You know Embiid, right?
It's most similar to Zack Randolph. Use your width to get the shot up rather than athleticism.
Very valuable move to have. Not a move which will decline with age/athleticism until he simply can't play anymore.
As an aside, coach/IT/GV need to start getting Cuz the godd**n ball iso'd in the post much more frequently. With the game on the line he's our go to guy and that's what we run. It's happened repeatedly under Malone. However, there's large chunks of every game where we're just watching our guards dribble in circles, looking to pass to anyone but Cuz, or IT just forcing it as he goes into hero mode. During these chunks of the game when Cuz does get touches it's usually elbow extended without having near the space he does operating in the post with a side cleared. Why we go to it so little is an important question. Why neither of our PG's appear to recognize the weapon we have is just as important of a question to ask. We feed Cuz in the post regularly and our record likely has a few more checks in the win column.
There's zero reason why the last two plays ran for Cuz, iso'd against Bogut can't be a regular occurrence if only our PG's would wake the hell up and play to our only advantage.

It has been 15-20 games. He can't shoot a free throw.
I didn't say it was a bad signing - just not sure of the timing. Save all the 680 Rod and Fitz spiel. I generally like Bogut and his borderline bad boy play (especially come playoff time), but seeing him healthy in the playoffs before locking him up for 3 years in a league that utilizes a 'soft' cap might be the better play - no one will know 'til that time comes, hence the 'wondering'. It's a gamble, right? I know Bogut is your boy, and you make great points for locking him up early. Only time reveals the correct play. Let's see what happens.

Did you notice that Vazquez was being bypassed on the outlet pass yesterday? I saw a lot of other players bring the ball up rather than hand the ball over to Greivis ... maybe I was just seeing things. Not impressed with his 'setting up the offense' the last couple games - seems like he isn't into the games lately. Maybe the other players aren't happy with it either.
