    That would be crazy. Kukoc played like a SF and do you want him to fill out this role?

    You mean the fast break where he dunked on someone's face?

    He was away ahead of 3 players, including guards. I'm sure there are better evidences to suggest he is slow but the original 2 videos really don't hint at any slowness at all. In fact I'm convinced he's pretty fast.

    Slow?

    By all accounts, he's either 7'0" or 7'1" and he's put on extra weight (muscle) in the last 18 months. How fast can you reasonably expect him to be?

    Besides, it's much more important for a big man to be nimble and have a touch around the basket than to have flat out speed in the open court.

    lol yes he is slow compared to d rose rondo and many other nba players.

    Now take into account that he's a legit 7 footer he is way above average in terms of speed for a 7 footer

    He will be tested on the defensive end and I belive that is where he is gonna struggle. The guy is a worse-option of Andrea Bargnani

    Slow doesn't mean too much. Yao is/was slow.

    Let me put on the flamesuit....

    Because the Rockets were looking to ditch their 2012 picks and basically call Dmo our first round pick next year.

    We have no room for him, no training camp etc, better to let him develop in Europe.
