| 0:00.0 | We are going to put 15 of the 30 starting power forwards in the NBA into a tier list. Actually, a very exciting one. There's a lot of young stars here. I got one of them. Let's do this shit. What do you want to start with? We have S through F, as always. Set the marker, put Yannis in S. Okay, Janus. Still number one. Really no competition. There hasn't been for his entire prime. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. |
| 0:21.8 | Now, what do you want to do with? Still number one. Really no competition. There hasn't been for his entire prime. Okay. Okay. Okay. |
| 0:20.9 | Okay. |
| 0:21.7 | Now, what do you want to do with Scotty Barnes? I mean, right now he's been hooping. Right now he's playing like one of what, the three best power forwards in the world? Three to five. There's a lot of great ones on here. So I don't know where we'll fall. but he's certainly been tier two after Janice. |
| 0:37.8 | A tier then. |
| 0:38.4 | So he's A tier. |
| 0:39.5 | Right now he's playing like that. If you think that Brandon Ingram has genuinely come in here and changed his life and that his life is forever changed, okay, cool. We can go 18. I do buy that. Now that he has one more score, take the pressure off of him. He doesn't have to be your team's leading field goal attempt maker. He can just be an elite defender, awesome secondary passer, awesome screener, awesome individual score when he's not tasked with being that main guy. He's the most well-runner player on his list, I think, and probably one of the three or four best defenders. I say that because there's a lot of good defenders on here, but he's in that top tier with Mowgli and so forth. Okay. So let's go straight to Mr. 18 and 8. |
| 1:14.0 | What do you want to do with Evan Mobley? Have B tier. No. That's funny as hell. 18 and A is pedestrian. So he's still eight here though, right? Even with the fact he didn't take the leap he wanted him to make. He still is a D. P. O.W. Offensively, he might just be 18 and 8 forever. |
| 2:03.1 | Even, even, even just be 18-8 and 8-8-D-P-O-Y-level defense. Great player. Amazing player. My question is, who's been better this year? Mowgli with, keep in mind, we're disappointed by the lack of leap, but he is still very good. Or Scottie Barnes. And I asked that because Raptors fans have had a chip on their shoulder for the entirety of Scottie Barnes career because it's been a debate that has haunted them. Rookie year they're taking victory laps because Scottie Barnes on Ricky the year. Then last year, obviously Moby lapped him. Now they're back for a vengeance. Who's better so far these 25 games? I say call it chalk, put them in the same tier, man. But who's better stand on it? I think Mowgli's the better defender. But Scotty Barnes, |
| 2:18.2 | he damn near might be first team all NBA as well this year. With having much better offense and doing way more offense. First team all defense, mean? Yes. Okay. This is what All-Star weekend is for. Yeah. Put them both on the court, one-on-one. Let's see who's better. Scotty Barnes might kill. |
| 2:19.3 | That would be the worst one-on-one game we'll ever see. |
| 2:22.7 | That might be the most ridiculous matchup you can imagine. |
| 2:25.9 | Mobile don't even take advantage to like six-five guys as is. |
| 2:29.0 | What are you going to do with Scotty Barnes? |
| 2:30.2 | We got Scottie Barnes and jumpers over DPOI. They would both never score. That would be gross basketball. |
| 2:35.0 | That's a way to tank ratings. |
| 2:37.7 | Jalen Johnson. |
| 2:39.8 | Probably about D tier. |
| 2:40.8 | He's a bad defender. |
| 2:42.6 | He's a bad defender. |
| 2:45.3 | I think like once trade comes back and his usage goes all the way like down, then I think we'll probably get to him. I want |
| 2:52.7 | to give him credit because he has been playing well, |
