PS: this guy needs to get back to the NBA.

He definitely has the skills to be in the NBA. He would make a fine backup big man for a lot of teams. The problem is he was never given a real opportunity to show what he can do. He barely got any playing time...

[EKBATAN]

I hope he makes a comeback. maybe he gets paid better in china but surely some team can use a big guy like him. did he change his agent or is it still that k00ni party promoter?

[persian-eagle-13]

he is so frustrating to watch

[EKBATAN]

i finally saw the clip, that was such a quick look at him, you could barely even see his name lol...wish they made it a little more obvious who he was

[pdot]

I've watched him play. His lack of strength makes him useless on the defensive side of the ball. He is too slow to make up for his lack of defensive ability and isn't athletic enough. Very limited toolset, but can be a garbage minute player in the NBA if he wanted.

not true. we've discussed this in depth before. its not his strength or slowness at all. he has often matched up great against the big men in NBA and never gets muscled off the ball. his problem lies in his ambition, learning, understanding english and what the coach wants from him. hes had plenty of games where he did really good

No point of arguing if you think he has enough strength and is not slow. The only time he ever got playing time was against other backup centres. Match him up with any legit starting centre in the league and he would get destroyed on the block.

Back ups like howard, gasol, mcgee and others?
