Boban Marjanovic’s time has arrived. The seven-foot-three high-rise human will no longer be buried on the depth chart, rather, he’s the official backup to Andre Drummond. A handful of variables (notably, matchups) will determine just how much we see the 29-year-old center but it’s almost a certainty he will participate more than the 293 minutes he did last year.
Marjanovic is a highly skilled true post player and has been a per-36 minute, per-100 possession, per-garbage time and per-DBB comment section G-O-D but now it’s time to see how he handles himself as —possibly—an every game, meaningful minutes type of player.
