Which big in today’s league do you think is the closest that we have to a traditional 90s big? (alien.top)

What I mean is a player who postups a lot, or gets his points from pick and rolls and putbacks. Doesn’t really shoot threes, and if he does they’re minimal. Back is to the basket a lot. Focuses a lot on defense and rebounding. Basically what you would think of a 90s big man

Doesn't post up but Mitch Robinson could be a 90s big. Stone hands. Great at rebounding and putbacks. Good rim protector. Runs and moves awkwardly. Terrible at free throws.

Plus if he catches the ball more than one step away from the basket, he looks like a baby deer that's about to get plastered by a semi truck. Very much a throwback compared to modern bigs who often have a lot of skill with the ball, as either a shooter or a passer.

And still complains about his lack of touches from time to time. 😂 I love Mitch, but what's he gonna do with more touches?
