^ Would actually throw Aldrich in the mix as well. It's horrendous this kid hasn't been given a chance to play, esp. while Chandler was out. Come on -- Chandler out and even STAT and/or Martin out all at the same time and he couldn't get more than 3 mins. at the end of some of these games? That's insane. That's grounds for dismissal right there...One of my main priorities while these guys were out would've been to get this big fella some court time to see if he could help me. Absolutely insane... The dude was a real presence in college and a former lottery pick. This guy could be a better player than Omer Asik, maybe even Chandler!! Who knows...Aldrich AND Tyler would be an interesting big man duo to see play together..
At the very least, send Aldrich down to Erie -- let him play 30+ mins every night and build up his value...He goes down there and starts putting up double-doubles, people will take notice -- maybe then we flip him to New Orleans for a guy like Pierre Jackson or to Houston for Isaiah Canaan. Or WE take notice ourselves, bring him back up and get him some playing time!! Astonishing that he's just been made to sit on the bench and rot. Bottom line -- I'm not ready to write this kid off just because Woody did. He's part of out young mix of unknowns we need to find out more about.
