Tim Legler

I just know I've sat courtside calling games, and you can see what looks to be a driving lane for a player or a guy that maybe could turn the corner on a guy and get to the rim

and Victor Weminyama's out there somewhere on the opposite side of the floor lurking, and all of a sudden that's action they don't even look at.

So there's no way to even put a tangible number on that and his impact there.

You know, I do think offensively, I just think it's going to be tough for him to get to a place

where he can just do what he wants offensively the way some great, great players in this league have done, where they just seemed unstoppable as scorers.

Because he's 7'5", he's never going to have a lot of weight to him.

Guys can get into him and sort of push him around a little bit on the perimeter.

He'll take shots that are maybe helping the defense.

It's going to be hard for him to do that, but he might not have to.

because he does enough offensively as a scorer, and then his impact defensively is unlike any player I think we've ever seen.

So he might not need to to win MVPs and championships, but that will be the one thing.

I don't think he's going to be a guy that's going to go out and average 35 points a game at some point, like a Kobe, like a Michael Jordan.

I don't think he's going to be able to do that because it's hard to move around at 7'5 when you're thin, and guys can get into you a little bit and manipulate your body and force you to places on the court where you don't want to go.

Welcome to the Zach Lowe show.

The second round of the playoffs actually started for a while.

I thought we might never get there.

How you doing, bud?

I thought, I thought pretty much I was past the point of thinking anything with him would be incomprehensible.
