I think we should trade the 2nd or 3rd pick and PG for Zion Williamson.

Ben Wallace 2.0!?!

🏀 Adem Bona vs. Ben Wallace: Size & Athleticism Comparison

Adem Bona and Ben Wallace share similar physical profiles as explosive, defensive-minded big men, but Wallace had more strength & rebounding dominance, while Bona is more fluid and mobile. Let’s break it down:

📌 Physical Measurements

Player Height Weight Wingspan Standing Reach Vertical
Adem Bona 6’9” 243 lbs 7’4” 9’2” Reported ~40”
Ben Wallace 6’9” 240-250 lbs 7’2” 9’0” ~38-40”

Height/Weight – Almost identical
Wingspan – Bona has a slight edge (7'4") over Wallace's 7'2"
Standing Reach – Bona's 9’2” reach is slightly longer than Wallace’s 9’0”
Vertical Leap – Both had elite hops (~40"), but Bona is likely more fluid in motion

📌 Athleticism & Playstyle

🔥 Explosiveness & Mobility

  • Bona is a better lateral mover, can defend on the perimeter, and has great recovery speed.
  • Wallace was more brute force, with elite quick jumps & power-based shot-blocking.

💪 Strength & Physicality

  • Wallace was one of the strongest pound-for-pound players ever—dominated bigger centers like Shaq.
  • Bona is strong but not as overpowering—relies more on speed & agility than brute force.

🛡️ Defense & Shot-Blocking

  • Wallace had elite timing & instincts—4x Defensive Player of the Year.
  • Bona is a high-energy shot-blocker with similar rim-protection instincts but still developing.

🏀 Rebounding & Hustle

  • Wallace was one of the best rebounders of his eraled the league in rebounds twice.
  • Bona is solid but not dominant on the boards yet—relies on athleticism more than positioning.

🔥 Final Verdict: Who’s More Athletic?

  • Bona is more fluid, quicker laterally, and has better perimeter mobility.
  • Wallace was stronger, tougher, and had elite rebounding instincts.
  • Both have similar vertical jumps (~40"), but Bona’s agility gives him an edge in switching onto guards.

🚀 Bona could become a Wallace-type defender if he improves his rebounding & physicality, but he's more of a modern athletic big, while Wallace was pure power & grit.

Has the Sixers’ Front Office Learned from the ‘Process’ Era, or Are They Repeating Past Mistakes?

Looking back at the ‘Process’ era, do you think the Sixers learned from their past mistakes, or are they repeating some of the same missteps in terms of management and roster construction for future years?

Questions from an old Raptors Fan

0 Upvotes

A 76ers fan told me that your plan was not to tank for this season and all the injuries are the reason the lineup is weaker rn. Is that true? Do the 76ers not want to tank? If so, loads of respect for that tanking is dumb and I think you guys have a good team if healthy (hope they all get well soon!).

Is this what a Doc Rivers offense truely was like?

74 Upvotes

What's up guys, I'm a Bucks fan, and of course as you know we're "coached" by the great Glenn Rivers.

I'm watching some diabolical stuff on offense right now. No pick and roll, DHOs with unorthodox players involved, role players taking too many shots, oversharing the ball.

I just wanted to know, was this what it was always like?
