Then went on to turnover the ball, play super lethargic and completely checked out.

Diamonds in the rough are that for a reason. Cant always expect longevity out of them.

Yeah I saw that too. Whiteside is a box of rocks player with empty stats.

Nurkic also not showing up and injured again.

Honestly, some of these offensive centers really hurt their teams in the playoffs. Whiteside isn't really good at offense or defense.

If the Mavs draft a center, then I think he has to have huge defensive upside or you really do just get the next Monroe/Nurkic/KAT.

Defense or no defense I'll gladly take KAT with our draft pick.

Towns has been positively terrible with Capela being the far superior player. Gorgui Dieng had more impact last game than KAT did.

I wouldn't be against the Mavs getting an offensive center IF they had a really good defensive PF. JJJ would pair well with such a guy.
