...is a matchup problem...and he is nothing if not a matchup nightmare.
In a video (lazy, no link, it's on GBI somewhere), he was asked the question, "Who are your favorite all-time NBA players?" or something very similar.
He responded with two names:
Magic Johnson - 6'9" 220lb point guard and matchup nightmare - tallest point guard ever?
Charles Barkley - 6'6" 250lb power forward - known for rebounding, ball-handling, passing, game management
Interesting.
Because I'd love to see Biggie create the matchup problems that these two players created during their respective careers...and I think, based on what I've seen, that he could do it. His passing, ball-handling, and overall IQ are impressive. He's too mobile and savvy to be guarded by a 5, too heavy to be guarded by most 4's...and the offense can move through him very effectively, as he has shown the ability to find the open man.
Very exciting to think about how disruptive he could potentially be to opposing defenses!
