Danny likes to draft bigs with Large backsides

[KG Living Legend]

 This is from Fox sports. My buddy brought this to my attention. They were laughing and joking about this. Dont get mad at me. I'm just the messenger.

 Undersized bigs with Big backsides is his usual move. I jumped for absolute joy when we drafted timelord.

 Leon Powe, Big Baby Davis, Grant Williams,  and the biggest backside and straight terrible pick. Yabusele.

 Probably forgetting someone as well.  Does Fox sports have a Point? Why the obsession with short fat bigs? Oh Danny. When will you learn.  Height matters in the game of giants.

Powe was absolutely shredded.  He's the complete opposite of this trend that the OP thinks he sees, lol.

This thread gives new meaning to the

I think he should draft broad shouldered, narrow waist with longer legs than torso types.   This is the best prototype for leaping and NBA players.   The best athletes in the NBA have this profile over the course of the league.

Longer legs provide higher lever arm ratios for the muscles powering a jump, allowing them to generate high centre of mass velocities while maintaining a low strain-rate and thus increasing the amount of energy in the jump (Alexander, 1995).

Rob, Dr. J,  Jordan, Dominique all had this profile.

Even little guys who can jump often have this build.

 Boom! Your hired Celtics 4ever!

 This isn't rocket science.  Danny always doing something strange. I should have specified.  Its mostly PFs.

 And I do agree with you guys about Powe. I think it was his super stiff running style that made me think his butt was extra big.

 He was in great shape tho. Sully, Baby, Grant, Yabu, Not so much!

The G league is filled with prototype NBA bodies. Player body types are secondary in the scouting process.

From the average Celtics draft position in the mid-late 1st it’s a crap shoot, Danny seems to prefer physically strong, high BBIQ bigs, and if they tend to have large backsides so be it.

Jokic, Embiid, Randle, and plenty of other bigs with wide frames that are successful in the league

 Here is what your missing tho..Randle is 6'7" and had an almost 40" vertical at the combine. Also tremendous handles and vision for a big.

 Jokic is 7 feet with world class skill and vision. Embiid is 7 feet and, flat out a freak of nature. So these are not good examples.
