You keep referencing elite low post guys when you re engage on this argument. That’s the whole issue. There are a limited number of these types of centers out there that are both taller, have a long wingspan and are capable low post scorers while not being a liability on defense.

Guys who can play back to the basket in a traditional sense are rare. Most bigs get theirs on lobs, the offensive glass or a dump off pass. Very few are out there giving you a traditional look backing their man down.

Teams with good point guards and bigs that can finish well around the rim give you low post scoring options. Often it’s the playmaking and vision that comes from guard play that leads to easy buckets which isn’t factored in enough when it comes to getting buckets around the rim.

Kyle showed the ability to catch on the low block and get a bucket a couple times a game at SDS. That’s as much as you get from a big in the post these days that’s true low post offense outside the elite guys to start the conversation.
