    Role players typically get more minutes when they play well, so seeing a role player have great numbers in games where they had relatively high number of minutes played is to be expected.

    This is a point the LOFs never really understood.

    Let's see if Doc nails this one!

    O'Quinn would be a hell of a lot better to have out there instead of Harrell in the playoffs. I haven't watched him a ton but he's a big dude that looks like he will get the dirty work done.

    His def fg% around the rim is elite. 47.6% at less than 6ft which is a -13.7% difference he's holding opponents. Overall his def fg% is 43.3 a -4.9% difference.

    His reb% especially defensively rb% is elite. 25%def and 19.5% overall.

    His blk% is elite. 7.2%

    I'm well aware of his stats. And he passes the eye test too. I really like your comparison as Chuck Hayes defensively. O'Quinn has pretty bad verticality yet he somehow blocks a ton of shots. Must be that wingspan.

    I would offer Harrell/Ennis and Den 2nd.I would rather hold onto KJ for some SF depth, we are really thin there if we don't make another move.

    O'Quinn will really help against Memphis if we have to face them in the 1st round.

    What are his box out stats per 36

    Depending on that, we may have found someone who makes DMO obsolete

    I like his game. Tough, active in the paint (defending and rebounding), even shoots the lil mid range jumper when open.

    Would be great, like Christmas in February (to get Williams and O'Quinn). Not sure we have the assets to pry him away from Phil's greasy hands. Although, I see Hernangomez will be starting next game and has shown some real promise for them when he gets minutes. So it's not like they really need O'Quinn. Noah will be back eventually also. That team is such a mess, so it's no telling what they want to do with their players. They will probably move Rose though.

    I've been pressed for O'Quinn for years. Fouls too much, but I can't find anything else not to like.

    A Kyle O'Quinn is a Morey type of move. Has good stats yet no one talks or mentions him. Looks very underrated.

    If Morey ends up trading for both Wilson Chandler and Kyle O'Quinn while keeping Ariza I think we're good to go.

    KoQ is expensive. His contract is criminal. His play is solid, albeit a bit overrated by the posters here.

    Doubt Morey can trick the Knicks into giving us KoQ for a combo of KJ + Ennis + 2nd round picks.
