Like you could just stretch out off, put him in the corner and then just rely on his shot blocking.

Then you have a pretty credible defense on the other end there.

That would be interesting.

And maybe if he's a backup now and playing primarily against backups like he did with the Grizzlies, like maybe there's something more to that.

But you're right.

He didn't come around.

And if anything, like Siakam looks like their second best center at this point.

What did you guys find out about yourselves when I wasn't around that this podcast can somehow get even nerdier?

My favorite part was when Isaiah asked the question about the, in the Iraq, you could just like sense the boredom as he was coming out.

I called that out.

Well, Kyle mentioned, like, fringe guys there.

I do, just as my one thing.

Kobe Brown seems like a rotation guy.

And that is more important for a team like the Pacers that is so cap-strapped.

And, like, one of the operating theories of getting Zubac is that they could fit him into their books because they already have the two maxes with Siakam and Halliburton, obviously...

Zubac in the 20s range fits in there in a way that isn't going to force them to go into luxury tax and pay through the teeth.

Kobe Brown just seems like the type of guy who could easily just play 15 minutes, 20 minutes a game in the regular season, like a big old beefy boy who we liked with the Clippers, who have a history at this point of finding some guys late in the first round.

Unfortunately, they go on to other teams like Musa Diabate and really find themselves.

But like

Big guy, strong guy, like clearly can defend a couple of positions, shoot a little bit, really like kind of crafty getting inside, like surprisingly so.
