Who is the best big coming off the bench right now?
Usually 6th men of the year are guards.

Ryan Anderson, unless I'm forgetting someone.
Capela, too. West, probably, in terms of ability. Not sure how he's playing this year.

Obviously it's the Bulls roster. Gibson AND Mirotic off the bench.

Ezeli. ****ing Ezeli.
Capela, West and Thompson are obviously up here as well.
I really like Varejao when he actually plays but they're so scared of getting him hurt they don't do it often. When he gets minutes he's better than TT.
But it's like saying Manu is better than K. Thompson when he gets minutes(which is true), it's kind of pointless because he simply doesn't play enough.

oh ya my bad. It's Noah and Mirotic off the bench now. Still the best in the league.

Not sure about that Noah looks washed and Mirotic has taken a step back

Dude, I'm just gonna assume you're joking because Adams is far from being a bum. I'm honestly offended by the comment.....joking or not. :coleman:

Don't let offense fool you because Kanter isn't good at all

Honorable mention to Z-Bo who is coming off the bench now.

You take Adams off and replace him with Kanter and watch teams feast in the paint and blow them out early.

And D. Lee in Boston. Hell, Olynyk has been looking like a beast off the bench for the Celtics as well.

Yup, was just about to mention this, I've been happy with Lee, considering he had no real expectations coming into the season :cheers:

I'm telling you guys. As soon as they realize Kanter should be starting, your team will get better.

Capela is a regular starter now.
Motiejunas is probably the most talented big off the bench even though he just came back from injury.

Nicholson is surprisingly making a case for himself. Maybe not best but he's in the discussion based on how he has played since breaking in to the rotation.
10pts 7rbs on 42% from 3 for december, his season stats suffer because he got ZERO minutes on the end of the bench to start the season and only got a spot in the line up recently. He's been quietly effective and draws double teams in the post now.

Noah has been solid this year. Not his all-star DPOY form, but way better than the pile of garbage from last year. His scoring numbers look awful but he does everything else.

I know people will laugh but Tarik Black would get mention if he got the playing time but dumbass Byron Scott chooses to play Bass, Nance, Hibbert sometimes Artest over him.
But a lot of good bigs already mentioned.

Talent wise Kelly olynyk. He only averages 18mpg because of the log jam at the four spot they have in boston but in the minutes he has gotten he scores in every way you can think of.

He's not better than Motiejunas at scoring, rebounding, playing defense, or passing.

I like what Ezeli is doing right now. Let's see how Memphis improve after moving Z-Bo to the bench.

Motiejunas. But he's bench player not for long.

Obviously it's the Bulls roster. Gibson AND Mirotic off the bench.
Mirotic is not a big in the real sense being discussed here though. He's 6-10 and a PF, and he is a big man, but in the technical sense of "big man role off the bench", he is not.
Because that's not the role he plays in the Bulls, nor in any other team in his career.
Also, this thread proves ISH NBA only fans are totally full of shit. Because there are numerous big men in Euroleague that are better than every single player that has been named in this thread.
Yet, according to ISH NBA only fans, every single NBA player is better than every single Euroleague player.....
