    Here are some facts.

    As the roll man Asik ranks 45th in the NBA. A PPP of 0.95 & a %time of 29.6 & a FG% of 56.5. Not as bad as everyone makes him out to be obviously.

    As the roll man Greg Smith hasn't had enough possesions to rank in the NBA he has a PPP of 0.83 & a FG% of 33.3% 17.1% as his %time.

    Just a few thoughts

    I think part of Lin's struggle is because of Osik's inability to cause damage during pick n roll. Dude is hella slow. Even when you pass to him for a wide open drive layup or dunk, his timing to raise up is so slow that it even gets blocked or stripped...it's ridiculous. I think the team is better off signing a superstar PF that can do pick n roll w/ Lin.

    I think he is trying to say that Asik is not the ideal PnR guy. Our PFs should be the ones doing it instead of Asik. Too bad we don't have a PF like a young Amare.
