    6'6 "stretch 4" who's already bulky... Your idea is for him to wear platforms and become fat?

    He's 6'7 like other playmaking 4s that are currently playing and succeeding in the NBA. You a act like you've never heard of an undersized power forward. What team have you been following before deciding to troll clutchfans.net?

    And I don't know how you got platforms and fat guy from my comment, but it looks like we know where your mind's at you friggin deviant.

    Why do you guys hype these scrubs. They aren't good to me at all. That Llull phase was irritating.

    We turned V-Span into Luis Scola.

    We most recently hyped up Kostas Papanikolaou, gave him a historically huge contract (largest 1st year salary for 2nd round player), and then turned him into Ty Lawson.

    Agree. The Euro hype cycle is starting again. KPapa last year as well. Nice guy some skill, but generally Euro star = NBA 11-12th man. That's what it is...

    Pap was never a Euro star. People like overestimating players and then criticizing them ... In Barcelona,he was a very good wing, streaky shooter, hustler but not a good playmaker and unfortunately he wasn't an athlete so defensively he was slow.

    Duly noted. We will stop trying to find oversees players because why even try. It didn't work in the past therefore it will nvr work. Btw I really hate what the Spurs have done. They nvr find good euro players.

    Luis Scola, DMo worked pretty damn well. Clint Capela certainly looks like a keeper and if you want to get right down to it we got Pat Beverly from Europe. He had no actual NBA experience prior to his stint in Europe.

    You never turn your back on such a huge repository of talent. Guys like Gentile and Llull cost the Rockets very little but can offer huge returns when they pan out.

    By the way, I'm not preaching to you. I recognize your sarcasm

    1-7 from beyond the arc but other than that he's looked pretty good. Good IQ, passing and ability to keep his dribble alive.
