Yep.
Tayshaun prince...Kevin Garnett (until he bulked up). These guys were 'thinner' but had great positioning and played with amazing leverage down in the post from what I remember.

Yeah, some of these players change during their career and they choose not to bulk up to keep mobility.
I was also thinking about Porzingis and Ingram as well.

No one asked for pictures. But cute attempt to shift the goal posts. And again, I’m not asking about different styles. I’m asking about body type. Because that’s the conversation that pertains to Stix. So, I’m asking you for examples... players who have shown the ability to bang while being stick figures.
If you don’t know who those players are, you could always just say maybe you’re wrong. Hell, I just did it on my recollection of Tyson Chandler.
or you can just keep deflecting by bringing “pictures” I never asked for or moving the goalposts about “other styles” when the conversation is about Stix and how other players with his body type were or were not successful as bangers.

Tayshaun wasn’t a banger. He played SF and was a sick perimeter defender and even guarded some 2s and some 1s like a beast. Sheed, Ben Wallace, McDyess, Williamson were the bangers on those Detroit teams.
KG was one of the most athletic guys ever and was 7 foot. That gives him a couple edges over Stix who’s 6’10 and a good athlete but not super human like KG.

neither of those guys are bangers and they’re both atrocious defensive players.

Okay, whatever. Yeah durants skinny legs are an indicator that stix can be good too.

He said that Kawhi doesn’t play defense with the same intensity as in the past and this year he turns it on when he thinks it crucial.

Wow that’s crazy. Looks like it’s photoshopped of someone else’s legs.

Yup. You’ve got one!

I sure do!
I find this fascinating. Do you really believe Kawai is a player who rests on his reputation and was just coasting defensively?

I think he’s a player who has become more selective in when he gives all out effort. I mean, that’s pretty damn consistent with taking games off for rest regularly which he’s famous for.
He did a good portion of the first round against the Mavs. I hadn't seen him much during the season but was disappointed by how uninterested he was on defense in that series. Even when he was on Luka, he'd take plays off.

Not playing and slacking off are two different things. Haters gonna hate. I can guarantee that if Kawai played for the Suns you would not feel that way.

Lol at calling me a hater. It’s an observation. I neither love nor hate kawhi. He actually generates no emotional response in me whatsoever.
Suns would beat Kawhi-less Clippers even if they don’t have Paul for the first few games.
Jazz probably still going 7 (Jazz likely win if Kawhi out).
Suns could win 4 out of 5 against Jazz if Paul missed first two: just have to win one road game. Conley’s health will be critical. Moore could easily have some solid minutes. Would be great for James Jones’ EOY application if Suns split in Utah after a big game from Moore
