Believe it or not, I'll take it. Please keep the dude. But then again, we did have Maceij(pardon spelling if wrong) Lampe, so I can't judge for sure. His college numbers are pretty decent. The scouting report is good, except for the beating around the bush that he's soft. He has "freakishly long arms". Maybe he can change a couple shots. Who knows? All we need from him is 10 productive minutes at most.
When i first joined up, I was debating whether to be MrButtocks or Yao11. I think I made the right choice.
I went to school with Matt and got to know him a little bit. As a person he's a cool guy and one of the nicest guys on the team. He would actually talk to fellow students and fans instead of ignoring people like some other players. As a player, he really developed his last 2 years and became one of the team leaders. He's capable of getting a lot of blocks and changing shots. He has pretty good ball handling skills and good range for a big man. He consistently knocks down shots from 15-20 feet. He's not the kind to always overpower people with moves in the post, but he can still grab boards with his long arms. He's bulked up some in the last few years, but hopefully he's still getting bigger. I could see him as a decent backup, though I think he fits the 4 spot more than the 5.
Only saw a couple of summer league games worth of Haryasz. The things that stood out to me are that he is really active and that he is pretty quick for a big guy. The very fact that he tries HARD to go after the opposition on D means he is nothing like Lampe. Lampe looked like he was on cruise control even during garbage time. Lampe is probably Polish for "Wang" (as in Wang Zhizhi)
