They defend pick and rolls differently than we do or something?

yea...but how are their celebrations?

Cole was a glacier, too. But he had defensive instincts like Clingan, and Hunter just doesn't. Defensively, Hunter doesn't play nearly to his size.

it was the volleyball lol (but seriously, i’ve no doubt it played a role)

ahhh…you could very well be right

edit: i could find zero mention of vb and Cole…just Withey

Withey was volleyball.
Cole was an Academic All American.

Effort. The energy and effort Cole played with on defense was like night and day difference compared to hunter. Cole was a lot more athletic, which is why he got drafted 12th overall compared to hunter never getting drafted despite bigger and more skilled, but not like cole was lighting quick. He did understand the role of the center tho, to anchor the defense protect the rim and rotate over to contest shots down there

Hunter "I get buckets" has never played the game like rotating over is his job

of the "all americans" academic all americans are my favorite. at least they used to be. when the children were going to school.

Cole could and would actually dunk the damn ball

If you guys are frustrated with hunter, go watch some Cole highlights. Then you'll really hate hunter

Cole is, from an overall standpoint, too far ahead to be a good comparison for Hunter.

A much better one is Withey - but in the inverse.

me too. Maybe that makes me a bad fan.

Although, I think it actually makes me a good fan.

Totally.

Which would you rather have?

I'd say Withey. Probably depends on the team though

Most Bill teams, Withey. This Bill team, Hunter.

He's not going anywhere. We're stuck with an unathletic center that puts up offensive numbers and ruins your defense

Well, probably a good thing. Bidunga looks very raw in this McDonald's game.
