In 16 games as a starter, Kevin Seraphin is averaging 14 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks a game. Picked number 17 in the same draft that we selected Patrick Patterson. Small sample size, but anyone that has watched this guy HAS to be excited about his future. Look how big he is compared to Ben Wallace, and he is 22!

Patterson was worth the pick. Seraphin may have also had a bad season this year if he came off of injury, who knows.
I remember there not being a lot of hype or anything over this kid, hell I think Chicago traded him for nothing.
He has been putting up solid number of late. Havent seem his play though. I really like what they got goin with Booker/Seraphin combo.
Chicago dumped a first-round pick (Seraphin) and Hinrich to the Wizards in order to clear up cap room to chase two max free agents that summer. They missed out on all the stars and settled for Boozer, Korver, and Brewer. I'd still take those three over Seraphin and Hinrich.
Camby would kick his ass. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xyPSHIUehiE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
He's doing some of what people wanted Greg Smith to do (or thought he could do). Hopefully Greg Smith can get more experience and be a similar type big body even as a backup. Seraphin is on a bad team so its fair to cast some doubt on his true effictiveness. Still there's guys like Thabeet you BEG to produce but don't do anything, so its to his credit he's playing alright.
DMO isn't a center and the Wizards are a craptastic team with no big men (Blatche is glued to the bench now).
Seraphin is a 6-9 C project. He was over-hyped because of recent french players like Batum and Roddy B. No one was expecting him to have any offense.
