General rule for a big in 21 Nt is at least 12 IS/ID/RB. Even that will not be a sure thing in the side. PF needs some level fo outside skills also.



I believe that the National team coaches should be giving consideration to updating their "expectations/guidelines" of skills required, in accordance with the incoming game engine changes.

That would be true. But until the effects have been seen more I am not sure how much you can alter it.

But in saying that guys with interesting builds would be a interesting thing to consider. If someone has a 15 IS 12 ID and 10RB he would need to be in the side IMO. As an example.

Minutes Massive Bol

Best team name I have seen for ages, I used to love watching him play for Golden State, sadly he died very young.

Oh wow is Minute Bol dead? He was one of the tallest NBA players.

Spudd Webb, one of the smallest players also played in that era. Instead of dribbling the ball under Bol's legs, Webb could literally just dribble under his legs LOL

Bol was 7 foot 7 from memory and was found in Africa and shown the game. his wife was 5 foot 6 and looked like a kid next to him.

Yeah and a quick check on wikipedia and there are some interesting facts. His great-grandfather, for example, was 7'10" and his parents and siblings were all 6'8" or taller! Impressive. He also holds the record for being the only NBA player to ever average more blocks than points per game over his career...

This son of his needs to play NBA - just for the name:

"One of his sons with Ajok, Bol Bol, was a 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) tall 7th grader as of October 2012 and considered one of the better basketball prospects of his class."

That is nothing, I was also a 6'5" 8th grader (ok one year later) but sadly that was basically it for me only one more CM.
