Mason Plumlee is the last Plumlee remaining in the NBA. That makes sense because he was always the superior Plumlee out of all the Plumlee brothers. His ability to be both a constant lob threat combined with his Jokic-esque-but-not-really-but-kinda-definitely-Jokic-esque passing ability combined with his goofy one-handed free throws make him a player that should stick around in the NBA for a long time. That skill set alone (ignoring other underrated skills like “turning bright red after exertion” and “being afraid to shoot jumpers”) puts him on another level above brothers Miles (whose skillset is only catching lobs) and Marshall (who has no skillset other than looking like a seven-foot-tall linebacker).
Speaking of those dudes, what are they up to these days? I decided to look them up on the Googz and will now share my findings with you all.
Miles Plumlee is playing for the Perth Wildcats of the NBL in Australia (I wish they would call it the ABL but they don’t listen to me). I bet this is working out great for him because 1.) he looks like he could be Australian and 2.) Andrew Bogut was the NBL MVP that one time even though he was totally washed, so Plumlee (who is Andrew Bogut 0.5) should be able to do well there.
Marshall Plumlee joined the army. I bet he dominates those pickup games. I also bet there are some creative uses for seven-foot-tall dudes in the military, but I’m not a military buff so I can’t come up with any.
And, this isn’t related at all but I wanted to keep everybody up to date, I can’t figure out what Luke Babbitt is up to at all. His Twitter is dead and there are no news articles about him anywhere. He’s probably just chilling out on his couch watching basketball and eating Cheez-its. This is a tragedy that must be rectified. The best three-point shooter in NBA history (my personal version of NBA history, that is) should not be wasting his prime eating Cheez-its.
