[QUOTE="NarrowJ, post: 2030141, member: 748804"] You also can't just take away 8 inches from Edey and say he'd still put up 24 & 12. He wouldn't. So no, I don't understand your argument at all. Are you saying that adding 8 inches to Oscar would make him worse? I think that's silly. You gain far, far more by being 7-4 300 than you are going to lose from it. There are plenty of very, very tall players that have talent and skill, so its definitely not a sure bet to say Oscar automatically loses skill/talent just by making him taller. Not just talking about freaks like Durant or Wembanyama. Even a guy like Bol Bol is exceptionally talented and skilled for his 7'3 size, much more so than Edey. We can't just guarantee that if we put 8 inches on Oscar that he suddenly sucks and is terrible and can't play. Guy would be an absolute force. [/QUOTE]
