    I just noticed that Indiana’s front-court (bench included) over last 2 games is averaging 86.5ppg which to me is insane.
    Turner, Young, Bogdanovic, Sabonis, Leaf & McDermott to be exact.

    Just wondering as a core who you think the best front-court in the NBA, bench inclusive…..
    Toronto & Milwaukee make good cases to me & Cousins/Green/KD/Iggy is pretty good as well, but limited depth there.

     Utah? Gobert, Favors, Ingles, Crowder… Definitely underrated. 

    Sixers, Embiid, Harris, Butler technically at 3, Bolden, Boban, Amir, just signed Monroe

    Nuggets yet to play Michael Porter, and still have Jokic, Millsap, Juancho, Plumlee, Craig, Barton

    Best Front Court player in the League in Joel, All Stars Harris and Butler at the F spots, Boban/Bolden/Scott and Ennis on the bench, now adding Greg Monroe too, Plus Amir is a solid veteran and Korkmaz a solid prospect…I choose them lol

       Maybe next year if they stick together but I dont see how you can add so many new peices and expect players to be compatible. Dont take it personally I know theres alot of Philly fans but I expect a 1st round exit.

        If not for Kawhi Leonard they’d be ECF bound, great shot tho!

           Philly has a real bright future as long as Brand does his job this offseason. Make or break summer for the 76ers. Simmons and Embiid really impressed me. If Leonard leaves they should be the best team in the East next year with all due respect to the Bucks. This was their first real Playoff push (2nd appearance) which is scary to think of.

     Turner should be DPOY. Gets no respect. That guy has been excellent all year.

    Toronto when healthy has had the best frontcourt all year long. Siakam, Ibaka and Gasol/Valanciunas. Im not even counting the SF position.

     Toronto, Milwaukee, Phila & Indiana all have Fantastic front courts in the East 

    OKC, Denver & Utah also have Loaded front courts in the West 

    personally I’d go w/ phila & I really hope they Max out Butler & Harris b/c I want to see these guys start the year together fresh 

    Embiid is right there w/ Giannis as the Best Big man in the NBA & they are 6 months apart in Age! Which means we will be treated to a True Big man rivalry for Years to come 

    And the reason I give Phila the edge is not only are Butler, Harris & Embiid all All Star cailber players but Phila’s All Star point guard Ben Simmons is really more of a Point 4ward w/ Elite rebounding & defensive skills – so the sheer size, length, athleticism & raw talent of phila’s front is Insane in a League where Guard play is really the way Most teams are going 

    But ALL the other teams I mentioned have Awesome Front courts. Jokic in Denver is an Amazingly skilled Big who maybe the Best passing Center we have Ever seen & that goes w/ a terrific post game along w/ Milsap & Barton! Utah’s Gobert is so skilled Defensively & his high shooting %%% make him a real asset at Both ends to go w/ Favors, Crowder & Ingles to form one of the toughest Defenses in the NBA. OKC’s Steve Adams, Jermi Grant & MVP candidate PG13 are Fantastic & are right there w/ any team! 

    Toronto w/ Super Star Kawhi Leonard at Wing, Siakam, Ibaka & now Gasol added get almost No attention but are probably the favorite to win the East & make the Finals. What can u say about the Greek Freak that has not already been said? Just like Embiid Giannis is a Space Alien who simply can Not be guarded & will win this year’s MVP & compete for the award every year going forward. middleton is very good & fits perfectly & the addition of Lopez has been sensational (This Really KILLS me! B/c as a Lakers fan Lopez would’ve fit Perfectly w/ Lebron b/c of his 3pt shooting & shot blocking!). Indiana has a Fanstastic group of young Bigs in Turner, Sabonis to go w/ solid Vets at 4ward Bogdanovich & Thad Young!

    Razor close & you really can’t go wrong picking Any of these Units
