    Nothing wrong with giving an opinion on a player based on their play in the D-League. D-Mo also played for the Vipers this season the same time that Olbrecht was playing for the Vipers, so we had a chance to evaluate both players against similar competition. D-Mo clearly has offensive skills in the low post, but defensively he is a huge liability since he gets overpowered by stronger players and he tends to get into foul trouble. While I think D-Mo has a much higher upside than Olbrecht long term, I think Olbrecht would probably be a better choice as a backup center this season. Just my opinion.

    Good for him. It has to suck sitting on the side.

    Will he ever be ready? He couldn't even make the rosters of bad Euroleague teams, despite years of trying. The guy has a lot of physical talent for his size, but he's always been a scrub.

    He was even a borderline scrub must of the time he was in the German League.

    A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly.
