Gasol has evolved into a guy that can hit a 3 pointer, and he always had a mid range game. Moussa can dunk (sometimes if he actually catches the ball). He’s young and will improve, but I just don’t think he’ll ever be an offensive threat.

I don’t think he’ll be anything more than a project player for the NBA. The NBA doesn’t have a lot of room for unskilled players that can’t make a free throw.

I hope he makes a fortune in the NBA, but I just don’t see it. He’d be a waste of a roster slot. He’d get schooled in the G league now.

You are not watching the current NBA... "Skilled" big guys are not what most NBA teams are looking for. They are looking for length, athleticism, defense, rebounding and rim running.

Moussa can do all of the above.

I’ve watched plenty of NBA and Moussa doesn’t have the talent to be there. Period. I’m not sure what NBA teams you are watching but he isn’t even close to being at that level.

It’s surprising cuz quite a few ppl believe that like the poster you replied to. As a big in today’s NBA, you have to have great hands, know how to dribble and have more in the offensive arsenal than just dunks.

No, you really do not. I can think of at least 10 NBA centers off the top of my head that play decent minutes that have very little offensive game outside of catching lobs and dunking. But they are great defensively, long, athletic and can rebound.

There is absolutely no reason that Moussa cannot develop into that type of NBA center. NBA centers tend to go one of two ways in today's NBA. They are the type described above or they are the Marc Gasol/Brooke Lopez type that are on the court to stretch the defense out.

You are thinking of players like Joel Embid and The Joker but those are your elite level centers that can do it all offensively but are by far the exception.

Alright, name at least current 10 NBA centers that are rotation players, don’t know how to dribble and all they do is catch lobs and dunk. You obviously don’t watch much of today’s NBA.
