    lol way to alter it at the end! I agree I don't think he could be an effective "starter".

    But would you agree that due to the watered down center position in the NBA, and given his physical attributes (wingspan, standing reach, etc.), he's more then 'capable' of being a "legit back up center" in the NBA despite his lack of height!?

    A 24 year old PG versus a 30 yo undersized journeyman center who washed out of the league for 2 years...

    At best this guy is serviceable. If he can give Dwight a breather for 10 minutes per game, I'll be a happy man.

    lol - European teams can't pay millions of dollars to players - it's not 2008 when they pretended like they could (note, they couldn't).

    Lowry, Scola, Landry. Damn, I miss those guys. Any one of them would be perfect on current team.

    Lulz as I read it. "Dorsey shocks" - "Did Joey Dorsey just breakout" - "Ray Lewis with a basketball"

    I'm like, wow. Man, no I don't remember that. I thought Dorsey was pretty terrible. I'll keep reading.

    7pts 12rebs

    Oh, sweet. That's why I didn't remember... Asik used to get that in like 3mpg for the Bulls or from the bench while faking injuries on the Rockets.

    dunno what u mean by this. u were talking about ben and noah tho i skimmed those posts cuz i was lazy and it had nothing to do with the point i was making
    i should've said starter and backup but oh well

    technically yeah he has a chance but i dont think he'll be more than a servicable big. i'll have to see it to believe it.

    And in that last few years of drayton McLains ownership of the Lastros they were a playoff team. Just cause you say does not mean it is true

    Anyway that is Europe and this is the NBA best we can hope for he that he is serviceable
