It's amazing about height and mobility. I remember the Cavs playing small ball and putting Mozgov on the bench. I guess it paid off I believe they won the championship against the Warriors.

What about Brook Lopez - he seems to be a traditional 5 and is somewhat effective. I could not believe that the Knicks passed on him in the draft. He's not a traditional 5 per se - he's completely restructured his game to become a legit 3 point threat - and when you have Giannis as your get-out-of-jail roving defender, any lapses or limited mobility issues that exposes Lopez is quickly remedied by Giannis's defensive presence/prowess; Budenholtzer doesn't have Lopez stretched out on the perimeter on defense to minimize getting blown by and/or caught on P & R switches - he's more in a drop back coverage to channel any drives towards a more imperiously active defender such as the aforementioned Antetokounmpo.

Cavs won the game they played Mozgov a lot but lost that series and fired Dave Blatt. They won the next year with Tristan Thompson at Center and Love at PF.

Overall, we now have a wide range of size. Hopefully they are game ready, confident, and skilled.

Ditto for armadillo meat, although not sure I've ever heard of that in gumbo. Oh, you've eatened that?! Yes, once. It was during my time at GU, but at home, not in DC. And it did taste like chicken.
