    point forward = Scottie Pippen
    point center = Bill Walton his championship year in Portland

    But Pippen played in a triangle offense and Walton played in a high post offense and not anything like I have seen from Golden.

    Didn’t CC move out to the high post at some point last season?

    Didn't Chicago run some offense through Noah in that spot?

    Good examples. I was thinking of a Draymond Green, but why not go for one that can also shoot? LeBron? :cool:

    point forwards are very common in the NBA now

    anyone from Lebron, Giannis, Tatum, P George, Durant, Siakam. Zion W, J Butler...hell, even 7'4/7'5 Wembenyama does sometimes....the league is filled with wings and bigs that can run the point and do, on numerous possessions. Ball-handling among bigs is light-years beyond what it used to be

    He comes from a great family . . . and is a steal-machine and can score.

    Kublickas? Might Rishwain try to get a medical redshirt for this year? Are they on scholarship?

    Those guys were great passers out of the low post for the Gators. It was almost like watching a volleyball game.

    Right. Kublickas. Thanks. Added.

    Rishwain played and I wasn't aware of any type of season ending injury. Did I sleep through that. I just assumed he was gone.

    If this is right - it leaves us with 3 portal slots.

    There was some speculation that's why Rishwain didn't play any down the stretch, but I really don't know.

    He wasn’t even suiting up at the end. He was shut down while he was still eligible for the medical redshirt. Does anyone know if he participated in Senior Day?

    Good question. Also - does one go to senior day as a grad student? I'd guess yes, but don't know

    Noah passed out of the high post for the Bulls at least for one season. I don't watch a lot of NBA so I don't know if he did it for more than that.

    I believe that Noah moved to the high post when Derek Rose went down.
