I've never seen him play besides those highlights. And an extremely unathletic (and probably soft) big man is the last thing the Pistons need.
Okay maybe an unathletic, chunky 3/4 who shoots too many threes because there are no fours would be the last.Quote:

His numbers this year (directly off the Spanish league website acb.com):
Minutes: 33
Avg. Fouls: 1.8
Blocks: 1.8
Off Reb: 2
Def Reb: 6.4
Assists: 2.3
Points: 16.2
FWIW 16 and 8 in Europe is very similar to a 20-10 in the NBA, the average score is lower.
You guys are definitely more knowledgeable than I am in basketball but he is not a soft chucker (albeit chunky) who stands at the 3. He tries one 3 attempt every few games. He's a banger and stays close to the basket. Would he be successful at that in the NBA? Not a clue. But trust me a bit here on how he plays, I saw at least 10 games of his this year, probably closer to 15. Those highlights I got from simply typing his name in on youtube.
As Zekyl stated I just saw this as a depth move, having a backup C who's actually a C. I mean I'd rather roll the dice on him than having Ratliff again.
I don't know. His NBA comparison is to T Mac, and not the one with the lazy eye.
I'd trade our 2nd for him, it's worth a chance.
Memphis is signing Marc Gasol to a 3-year deal.
He's a restricted free agent this summer isn't he?
