Not only that. Despite being 6'7", Adrien has a 7-foot wingspan with those long arms. Physical player, the opposite of Jordan Hill.
On this road trip Mchale is going to have to try some different people on the bench out, and look at benching his main guys for a night or two if not for just rest and matchups. -Adrien was a good matchup against Denver. The game went smallball and Dalembert could not matchup well against someone like Al Harrington. Plus with the alttitude, it was a good call to bench Dally and let him be fresh for the Portland game where he's going to have a big assignment in Aldridge. Looking forward to what else McHale has under his sleave. Good job tonight coach.
I thought he looked fantastic. He obviously isn't an offensive force but neither was Chuckwagon when he started here. I liked Adriens determination to get boards. He is a fighter and he goes after it. There was one rebound last night he went up and took it away from 3-4 Nuggets and was throwing elbows. That is toughness. Lets hope it continues
What he showed last night is that he can bring toughness and a huge spark for our team. He really impressed me last night, especially with the way he secures the ball on rebounds.
Props to Adrien. I'm afraid he only had that performance because Denver is pretty soft in the middle and didn't play with much height (at least last night with no Nene and Koufus in foul trouble). He deserves a chance at the Marc Gasol's of the league though.

I Just love how people toss around that word on here, like they know anything about anything. Way to contribute to the board, my man...you are an inspiration to folks all over the world with your sparkling wit, and mensa level intelligence. DD
He has some sort of freakish Lebron/Dwight Howard frame going on. His shoulders look like two boulders on a side of a mountain
I don't have Twitter but I saw KLow asking people to show love to Adrien for last night's game. In light of talk that he may a goner - due to the numbers crunch, I think it's a good idea. Maybe he'd wait around for us to clear some space (09'ners) if he feels wanted here. Just a thought.
