If the guy could rebound, he'd be a borderline starter level center in the vein of a Mehmet Okur lite. I am hopeful he will learn to rebound better in the NBA, but he will always have problems with enormously large or enormously active big men. Still, Scola has learned how to be an effective rebounder in the league.
I really like this guy. I'm especially impressed by how well he runs the court and how he can finish with a nice reliable dunk (off the feed), great mid-range J and the 3 ball is going to be money just as soon as he gets more practice, playing time. Blocks and rebounds should improve. I like him as a back up to Yao--can't wait to have Yao back
I think he has to adjust to the NBA officials, much like Scola struggled his first season with the Rockets. When Kidd fouled him, he should done a "Kirilenko".
The best thing I saw from him tonight was that he did not back down after the b****y shot Kidd took at him
he's a vet, not really a true rookie. and they say don't ever mess with an aussie! (ok, i made it up.)
Pullling out that ol' JVG quote, "We're in a knife fight right now with knife fighters."... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/01NHcTM5IA4&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/01NHcTM5IA4&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
He actually is an offensive nightmare matchup for the opposition, you put a shorter guy on him, he has some reliable post moves, you put a big bruiser on him and he can step out and take 20 footers all day.
i was beginning to think this guy was gonna go the whole season without a single dunk and now hes had a dunk in the last 3 games. hes becoming more aggressive and im actually starting to see his athleticism and skills. I really think he will be a significant big man off the bench for us throughout the duration of his contract.
If he can hit the 3pt consistently he'll be a huge threat to opposing teams. We'll have our own twin tower with Andersen and Yao. A 7ft6 center who will kill you on the inside and a 7ft back up center capable of killing you outside.
