Gadzuric may have a center’s body, but he has the athleticism of a power forward. He’s more agile than Cato. I would say his athleticism is somewhere in between Tyson Chandler and Cato.
Milwaukee has been dumping contracts the past couple years. With the resigning of Redd coming up if the Rockets were to make an offer immediately the Bucks may let him go. If we waited and Redd left for Cleveland for instance then they would surely resign Gadz. What is the #1 off-season acquistion need: PF that rebounds, muscles up inside, weak side defender, and comes cheap. I think that describes Gadzuric. Plus he can play backup center.
Gadzuric is a center like Cato - if you want to steal talent from Milwakee take Zaza Pachulia. Zaza ia only 21 compared to 28 for Gadzuric. More upside there. Zaza has more of an outside shot. Both are FA this year.
I've actually watched Gadzuric a couple times last season and he seems like a pretty decent player. He would be a nice backup for Yao and could probably be thrown in w/ Yao for a big lineup.
I like ZAZA better than Gadzuric anyway, so I would have to agree. Besides he is a 6'11"-265lb F/C. We need our own Euro anyway.
I think the guy has the athleticism to play PF and depending on what happens to Deke he might be what we need. If Deke does not sign then a back up center who can also play the 4 becomes so important. That said, I don't think we get the guy because the Bucks have a need for a big man themselves and he is restricted and put up good numbers for them.
