The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

And like their best center is either Purtle, who good luck if he makes it through another two months of the season, or Colin Murray-Boyles, who is two inches taller than me.

Yeah, the only team that they line up with, really, because it looks like they're going to finish fifth or lower.

No Dunks

It would be the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Knicks that they'd line up with.

And they did beat them three times.

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

There were injuries on the Cleveland side, that is for sure.

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

That being said, I don't think I would pick them against any team.

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

No.

Against the Cavs, I don't think there's a chance.

The problem is fourth quarters, because Scottie and Brandon Ingram aren't really playmakers for everybody.

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

When it goes through them...

The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

They can do things, and obviously Scottie can pass the ball, but they really need more of a guy who can get in the paint and create from there.

And I think that's what they're lacking with Emmanuel quickly.

He needs to touch paint way more often.

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

He just literally, it's not his game.

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

He just literally stops before the paint, or if he gets into that paint, it's a floater.

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

He is, the percentages are going up where he's being pushed to get more in the paint, like his backup Jamal Shedd is, but...

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

Playing Jamal Shedd just lacks them completely offensively if his three ball ain't there.

No Dunks
The Drop | Ranking NBA Contenders

But he makes more sense playing with Brandon Ingram and Scotty Barnes and R.J.

No Dunks

Barrett, who is a cutter but really can't make plays.

So that's where the problem is.
